Opium Parfum

Parfum
Opulence, decadence, overt sensuality--traits of the Oriental masterpiece designed by Yves Saint Laurent as an homage to the women obsessed with YSL Haute Couture and Rive Gauche Prêt-à-Porter. A swooning quality is sensed from the outset: omnipotent notes of mandarin and bergamot have the air of the mystical with middle notes of myrrh and jasmine. A final accord of deep amber laced with Opoponaux imbues the scent with its celebrated rapture. In a chic Chinoiserie-inspired flacon.

The Parfum is the ultimate expression of perfumer’s art and the vision of Yves Saint Laurent.

Question what is the difference between toilette and parfum? Yes, this question is from a man!

  • Answer I normally buy both for my friend. The parfum is (she believes) the best for her. I do agree. by John P 05/08/12
  • Answer The parfum is much richer and lasts longer. The toillette has an alcohol odor to ti. by Suzanne L 05/08/12
  • Answer Toilette has alcohol and parfum is the oils Parfum is stronger and lasts longer. I personally use the toilette after showers/baths while skin is still wet. Then follow up with a bit of parfum on the pulse spots and any special area for a special sensory treat. Hope rhis helps. by carol j 05/08/12
  • Answer Parfum is the most concentrated form of a scent, lasts linfer and costs more than all the other forms of a scent. It also has a fuller richer smell than toilett. by Robert B 05/08/12
  • Answer Parfums have a more robust oil base than toilettes, causing the scent to remain on the skin longer. In laypersons terms, parfums are stronger than toilettes, causing them to be more expensive. by Peter K 05/07/12
  • Answer surely you jest by Veronica S 05/07/12
  • Answer SINCE THE SENCE OF SMELL IS AN INDIVIDUAL PREFERENCE, I LIKE THE TOILETTE WATER FOR SUMMERTIME & THE PERFUME FOR USE IN THE WINTER...IT'S A MATTER OF THE INTENSITY OF THE FRAGRANCE..I HAVE ENJOYED USING THE BODY POWDER AFTER BATHING FOR MANY YEARS & HAVE ALWAYS USED THIS PARTICULAR SCENT , SINCE IT IT AGREES WITH MY BODY CHEMISTRY & LEAVES A MOST PLEASING AROMA ON MY SKIN... by jackee c 05/07/12

Question opium for men?

  • Answer i have been wearing Opium parfum for over 30 years. My husband tried the men's version and it was no where near compatible or enjoyable. by Petra T 04/17/12
  • Answer no, for women by Liubov P 03/17/12
  • Answer absolutely not. This has been my 'scent' for 30 years. Love it, but not on a man. by Petra T 03/17/12
  • Answer sure,why not. Only in the right consistency. by natalia b 03/17/12

Question In my opiniion, this IS NOT the original scent. Am I correct?

  • Answer My wife has been using the Parfum for years, and we recently purchased some from directly from Yves Saint Laurent. Neither she nor I can detect any difference in this and older bottles. She did have an older bottle which we used for comparison purposes. Be aware that there are third party retailers on the internet that are selling the Parfum at a substantial discount. A number of customers have stated that the scent of these bottles seems to be different. by Ron S 05/12/12
  • Answer My wife has to agree that this is NOT the original scent. She still has Opium Parfum she purchased a while ago and it does not smell the same. by Horst T 03/07/12
  • Answer I have used Opium Parfume for many years and it appears to be the same as the original scent on me. Louella by Louella R 02/29/12

Question Is this the original opium tassled parfum? YSL changed to a new line this past year or so and I have been unable to find the old parfum in department stores. The new scent is not the same. I want to make sure this is the orignal scent before I purchase it.

  • Answer Yes, this is the original scent. I was also unable to find in stores, so I went online to order. by Kelley R 02/28/12
  • Answer I bought my parfum from corporate and it was the same wonderful parfum as before the only thing is you can no longer get it in the 1/4 oz. size. I went to corporate because like youself I could no longer find it in department stores. Hope this helps. Sandy A by Sandra A 02/27/12
  • Answer Why is not YSL answering this question. They know whether they changed it or not. I give it as a gift and do not get feedback by William N 02/27/12
  • Answer Is not by Jefferey D 02/27/12
  • Answer You are correct - it's hard to find in the old, usual places. This site appears to be the only source for the original Opium parfum. I've looked for it in duty free shops, Amazon, etc., with no success. I was pleased with the purchase and the prompt delivery. -bill d. by William D 02/27/12
  • Answer I hope so because I gave it as a gift. I have given this as a gift to my sister for the last 25 years. I was always able to bur it at Jordan Marsh now Macy's. The last one I was able to buy at Macy's was 2 years ago. by Joan S 02/27/12
  • Answer Yes, this is the original scent! Unfortunately it is only available through this site, but well worth it anyway you can and only in this quarter ounce. But be sure it is the hypnotic,alluring, spicy, yet fascinating oriiginal Opium. by carol j 02/27/12
Why did you choose this product?

I love this fragrance and have been using it for years.

I have worn this since 1977

Every woman who loves Opium needs to treat herself to this. It is special!

I have used this perfum for many years and always get compliments. 1 small size will last a year. I can no longer find it in major department stores.

sexy parfume

she has had it for years

I've been wearing the original Opium Parfum for 25 years. I tried others but was always disappointed and always came back. And now, I don't even bother trying others. I love the way this smells on me and I always get complimented when I wear it. Please don't stop making it!
