Launched in 1977 by Yves Saint, Opium is a spicy oriental perfume. A mixture of spice, bergamot & lemon dominate the top notes, which fade to leave a spicy heart of ylang-ylang, orris, cinnamon & rose. It has a woody base with a touch of vanilla.
Saint-Laurent's started his own couture house, which was financed by his lover Pierre Berge in 1962 after learning his trade at Christian Dior. In 2002, dogged by years of poor health, drug abuse, depression, alcoholism, criticisms of YSL designs, and problems with lead designer Tom Ford, Saint-Laurent and Gucci closed the illustrious couture house of YSL. While the house no longer exists, the brand still survives through its parent company Gucci. The YSL fragrance & aftershaves lines are very succesful, with well known fragrances such as Rive Gauche, Opium and Jazz.

I love this perfume its got a sensual sexy musky smell that lingers all day, even the following day when you smell it of your clothes, the smell is as strong the next day. Less is definately more in this case well worth the money.
