Opium Rouge Fatal 2015

Just like Opium, the Paris fragrance also dresses in red for the end-of-year 2015 celebrations with Paris Rebel Rouge et Or (limited edition).

Opium’s new design

Opium is without a doubt the legendary fragrance of the Yves Saint Laurent house. At the end of 2015, the house chose to revisit it and dress it in a vivid red. It becomes impossible not to notice it; Opium shines and radiates. The entire perfume counter is enhanced by its light and its aura. Devoted fans of the house will not be able to resist, and it makes the ideal gift for any occasion. Its design is resolutely modern. The touch is smooth, voluptuous and addictive. Then, to further enhance the whole, Opium’s case is topped with a gold-toned cap. It blends seduction with luxury, and its dangerous game instantly draws us into its net. At its center, within a perfect circle, “Opium” is engraved in gold letters like an indelible tattoo. Here is the signature of a legend. Finally, a horizontal line completes the design. It is like a sacred case offered in a collector’s edition. Everything about it evokes passion, and it becomes utterly irresistible. Opium Rouge Fatal awakens the seductress within and firmly establishes itself as the fragrance embodying addiction.

The sulfurous fragrance from Yves Saint Laurent

Opium by Yves Saint Laurent is an iconic fragrance. Its spicy, floral signature makes it a sulfurous oriental fragrance. Its mandarin brings a fruity, fresh touch. This fruit nonetheless remains very sweet and almost tangy. It then pairs with bergamot, which adds a particular brightness to its citrus notes. Moreover, all the sweetness of the top notes is heightened by the presence of lily of the valley, which lends its delicate little bells so prized in fine perfumery. Then, its heart is much more floral. Sambac jasmine mingles with carnation and myrrh. While the carnation reinforces its spicy character, the myrrh is warmer and ambery. Together, the two elevate the fragrance’s oriental facet. Then, Opium closes on a vanilla base. Finally, patchouli essence further strengthens its depth. It lends its chypre touch and places Opium among fragrances of character.

Once again, Yves Saint Laurent has not lacked boldness. Opium Rouge Fatal is as unexpected as it is irresistible. Its red promises passion, and it is as enchanting and fiery as love at first sight
