Yves Saint Laurent Opium
Yves Saint Laurent Opium - eau de parfum for women
Opium by Yves Saint Laurent - "The opulent decadence of the Eau de Parfum capture the overtly sensual spirit of the original parfum designed by Yves Saint Laurent, only in a lighter spray form. Striking notes of mandarin and bergamot are made mystical with middle notes myrrh and jasmine. A final accord of deep amber laced with Opoponaux imbues the scent with its celebrated rapture. In a chic Chinoiserie-inspired flacon." --yslbeautyus.com

2015 - YVES SAINT LAURENT Black Opium
The glittery bottle of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is less suggestive than the 1977 Opium, which came in a package resembling a medicine case - and prompted boycotts. (They were unsuccessful; it's still a best seller.)

Yves Saint Laurent Opium
Oriental
Heavy, sexy, spicy, and usually wintry -- with a whiff of Middle Eastern souk -- these scents were born to be dabbed on the cleavage.
Yves Saint Laurent Opium
An oriental carried to the incense-y '80s max.
