The men's fragrance, which has become one of the flagships of Yves Saint Laurent perfumery, was released in 1995. Since then, Opium pour Homme has firmly taken its place in the hearts of men's fragrance lovers who prefer oriental and fougere scents. The quintessence of masculinity and mystery, grooming and attractiveness still does not lose popularity.
The enticing aroma reveals juicy and tender notes of blackcurrant and star anise. They are complemented by unexpected and slightly spicy aromas of galanga and pepper, which are concealed by the "heart" of toilet water. The final chord in Yves Saint Laurent's Opium pour Homme symphony is tolu balsam, satin cedar and bourbon vanilla.
