Our take on the Yves Saint Laurent Opium EdP

Opium is Yves Saint Laurent's 1977 oriental eau de parfum, built on a warm spice and resin base with citrus and floral top notes. It is dense and long-lasting, so a little goes a long way and it reads as an evening or cold-weather scent rather than a light daytime one. Reviewers praise its staying power and projection, while some find it heavy or dated compared with fresher modern orientals. It suits shoppers who want a bold, classic fragrance rather than something subtle.

Questions and answers

Is Opium better as an eau de parfum or eau de toilette?
The eau de parfum is denser and longer-lasting than the eau de toilette, with a heavier amber and spice base. Choose the EdT if you want a lighter version of the same scent.
How many sprays should I use?
One or two sprays are enough for most people, since it projects strongly. Overspraying is the most common complaint.
Is it suitable for daytime or office wear?
It is usually worn in the evening or in cold weather. In a close office or hot weather it can be too heavy for people around you.
Is this the original Opium or a reformulation?
It is the current version of the classic 1977 scent. Some longtime wearers say older bottles smelled richer, though the spicy oriental character is still there.
Who is it aimed at?
It is marketed as a women's fragrance, but the spicy amber profile is worn by anyone who likes bold orientals.
Where is the Yves Saint Laurent Opium EdP cheapest?
At Selfridges, for $127.00, as of our latest check.
