Yves Saint Laurent Opium Homme 100ml EDT Men Spray

Product Information

Exuberant, dressed in a blue tailcoat, with a heart of gold, he offers the arm to the one who wants it, seduces and does not let go. And besides, if my nose doesn't fool me, I think that from the original formula to this one there have been no major changes. The black pepper note is slightly stronger than the blue ginger although the latter kind of gives an Eastern tonality to the fragrance. It was in the month of march a mild cold morning, I wear this one, I could still remember how it smelt all over the day over me. Not a criticism, I love them all, but they would perhaps be more discernible if they had that old powerhouse energy behind them.

If you want to know what all the fuss is about with Envy, this is a way to get your nose on a smells-kinda-like approximation (not a dupe though). The older formulation have an extra depth and roundness, but the recent versions are not bad either. The bottom notes propose very strong and pungent bourbon vanilla accentuated by the warmth of the ambary tolu balsam note and the cedar woody note.Perhaps this new bottle of mine need a while to sit and oxidise for a better performance but I'm glad I can reach out for it anytime now. I don't pick up any notes other than vanilla and a well constructed spice accord that is made up of all the other notes. Don't let the opening scare you off its the shortest part let this baby fully dry down and give it a chance. the fragrance is very oriental, i love the spicy and vanilla notes and i want to point out that opium is not a "beast", it has a great performance but is smooth, elegant, exotic, classy in the same time.

Starts heavy like Dior Fahrenheit, not pleasant, but quickly goes to heavy vanilla base with black currant reaching out and stinging your nostrils.It's a interesting but weird combination of fresh wild fruits (blackcurrant), vanilla and cedarwood.
