Doing Opium…Legally

Category: Review on Opium by Yves Saint Laurent 100ml Eau de Toilette Spray

Posted by: 15-Nov-2006

Strengths: Original and unique fragrance for men specially suited for evening wear use

Weaknesses: Takes a bit of time getting used to the strong fragrance and cannot be used as a daytime perfume

Opium, as the name suggests is an expensive fragrance to start with. YSL outdoes itself by presenting Opium as a delightful fragrance which comes in an interestingly textured bottle and has been around for quite some time. Opium is an excellent fragrance which allows you to enjoy the perfume for all day as it tends to last quite some time.

Treat yourself with Opium as you would need to pay a hefty amount for this perfume and that is the only downside of the perfume. However, since the fragrance is a bit on the strong side, everyone might not like it but those who do, swear by the perfume and would use no other. Try not to wear it during daytime as it might come across as very strong and overpowering. Frequent Opium users ( and I am referring to the perfume here) are likely to fine most of their clothes carrying an aftermath of the fragrance and that is quite sexy!

As Opium is more than a twenty five years old fragrance, it comes as no surprise that generations have used it and it continues to be a perfume liked by many old-timers as well. This is one perfume you cannot go wrong with so when in doubt at the time of purchase of a perfume for yourself or as a gift, close your eyes and pick up the Opium and feel the intoxicating fragrance take control of you.
