Yves Saint Laurent Opium Pure Parfum. This is the parfum version of Opium and features notes of sweet oriental woods, spices and incense. A fragrance so seductive blending plum, coriander, pepper, clove, hespirade, jasmine, rose, lily of the valley, cinnamon, peach, sandalwood and patchouli. Even if you weren't a fan of the Opium, the parfum is well worth seeking out for any oriental lover.
Opium won a FiFi Award in 1979 for Women's Fragrance of the Year - Luxe and a FiFi Fragrance Hall of Fame Award in 1993.
Since I last reviewed Opium Parfum, I have sniffed hundreds of perfumes, possibly thousands, but I have not found another as lovely as this quintessential spice-oriental. It's my Holy Grail scent, and I have to urge every budding perfumista to try it.
When I was very young, back in the '80s, it was common for women to asphyxiate their loved ones with the Opium EDT. A drop of the pure parfum, on the other hand, makes life lovely for all concerned.
