Opium Pour Homme in detail
Opium Pour Homme Eau de Toilette is Yves Saint Laurent's masculine spicy amber, which the house wants both fresh, fruity and energetic, over an oriental framework. Its page gives neither the year nor the perfumer.
The house names four notes, without tiers. Sweet, aniseed star anise and peppery, camphor-like galangal give the fragrance its spicy fire. Resinous Tolu balsam and vanilla soften it with a balsamic warmth. According to the house, the aroma of blackcurrant also awakens as the composition unfolds.
Opium Pour Homme is worn in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening. It is a warm, spicy oriental, for those who love sweet spices and balms. It readily accompanies a winter evening, a dinner or a night out, where its spicy warmth slowly unfolds.
Three niche ambers in our catalogue share its vanilla, each in a different register: Ani by Nishane, Narcotic Delight by Initio Parfums Privés and Smoking Hot by Kilian Paris.
