Review of Yves Saint Laurent Opium Eau De Parfum Spray

...created by French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. It has been around for some years and I was first introduced to it when staying with my Auntie as a young teenager, back in the 1980's, she was wearing it and I can still remember thinking then that it smelled lovely and dreaming that one day I would be able to afford to buy it for myself. Fortunately the day came when I could afford to buy it for myself - unfortunately, since it isn't cheap ...
...of the other products that Yves Saint Laurent have produced to compliment the perfume - these include soap, shower gel and body lotion, etc. Opium is easy to obtain as it is sold in most major perfume retailers, chemists and department stores. Thank you for reading. Julie ...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Opium Eau De Parfum Spray

...know that the parent company, Yves Saint Laurent, offers a number of additional products in the Opium line, including soap, shower gel, body creme, body moisturizer, dusting power, and body oil. Opium is known almost as well for its presentation style as for its scent. The classic terracotta and gold stoppered container pictured in this review category is always on my dressing table--even if the bottle itself is empty. It sets a worthy standard. ...
...sturdy oval case made of molded plastic and/or pressed board, depending on the product it protects. The outer container for my .26-oz parfum bottle even includes a space in the base to hold the corded tassel that is part of the design. The outer container repeats the terracotta and gold of the stoppered bottle, adding golden foliage and black accents. The overall look is quite striking. A simpler design borrowing many of these same elements is used ...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Opium Eau De Parfum Spray

...the French fashion house of Yves St. Laurent was also at it’s peak of popularity. And it was during this peak, in 1977 to be exact, that the company introduced what would become one of the most recognizable scents ever -- Opium. Opium. Even the name is indulgent, bringing to mind the imagery of the far East, of fine linens and decadent luxury. Let your imagination wander a bit more, and you can almost see a harem, scores of elegant ladies draped ...
...the air on a breeze, intermingled with spices and ripe fruits. This is what Opium has captured in a bottle. While I was but a child in the 1970’s, when this fragrance was introduced, it was some 20 years later that I fell in love with it. It was one of those fragrances I had always been curious about, noticing the elegant packaging, and the beautiful bottle. Yet there was something so forbidden, so naughty about it, that as a young woman, made ...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Opium Eau De Parfum Spray

...a bottle of 'Opium' (from Yves Saint Laurent) which I was chuffed to bits with! As I was given this as a gift I'm unsure of the exact price, but you can get it for around the £25 - £30 mark for a 30ml bottle, depending on where you shop. PACKAGING <><><><><> The perfume comes in a brown and gold bottle. The glass bottle itself containing the perfume is covered with a brown plastic covering with a circle in the middle. The circle contains the name ...
...of the bottle is the Yves Saint Laurent brand name and the volume of perfume in the bottle (1 fl oz -30ml - 74% vol). THE PERFUME <><><><><><> Now onto the best bit - the perfume! You can see the perfume through the circle on the bottle. It is a very light brown/tan in colour to look at. The aroma is quite strong to the smell, but don't let this put you off. Some people may not like perfume like this, but I really like it. The aroma reminds me ...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Opium Eau De Parfum Spray

First of all, this is my first review ever. So I hope any readers will overlook flaws. Being opinonated, but lazy in conversation, I find this an ideal outlet Especially as I hope to write properly (mystery books) at some point, it seems like a good idea to see how people react to my remarks. Personal history of addiction: Therefore Opium, for me the best fragrance ever, is an ideal choice. Also there aren't that many other reviews on it. In general ...
...classics to lighter womens' fragrances (Sensi by Armani), to unisex (CK One) to mens' fragrances (Davidoff Cool Water), I'll wear anything I like the smell of. But since I was nearly 14, in the summer of 1991, I have been in love with Opium. It will always outshine everything else. At the time I had no idea what it was even perfume. After a long time I saw my mother's cousin that summer. I suppose I had a teenage crush one her besides being good ...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Opium Eau De Parfum Spray

Opium. An addictive narcotic, one of the most powerful natural painkillers extracted from the unripe seeds of the opium poppy. Therefore, this perfume acts in the same way: is addictive, kills pain by creation of the enticing aroma aura. It resembles the orient mystery, aroma and ambiance. I was born in a country not too much traditional with perfumes. I knew the aroma of flowers, trees, rain… Even though, at that time, I heard about Opium ...
...for me. Later, when I had a chance to be exposed to the myriad of the bottles of perfumes, you can imagine how I felt. Mesmerizing, enchanted. That impression remains in me to this day. Opium is a spicy, woody aroma that suits for special occasion and blooming at this time. If you are wearing it, daily it is nice, but not distinctive. If you are wearing it in a theatre, evening parties, then it is “grateful” and emits so nice aroma. ...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Opium Eau De Parfum Spray

I know this perfume has it´s dedicated followers, ´"addicts" even! who would not consider wearing anything else. Additionally, men seem to buy it a lot for their ladies, so maybe men find it attractive (sensual even), or, they are following the crowd or the sales girl. BUT SORRY! for me who had this bought for me as a present by a well meaning boyfriend, you cannot get rid of the scent, it follows you without mercy, lives in your wardrobe and on ...
...I found it far too strong and heady for me. However, for those who like Opium, it has to be said it has FANTASTIC staying power, is modern and attractively packaged, and although not cheap, one does not need to use a lot. All I would advise - ladies, when testing, make sure you test for at least a few hours and see if you still find it attractive - gentlemen - check your lady is an Opium lover first - it could save you a lot of money, and her wearing ...
