Launched in 1995, Opium Pour Homme is Yves Saint Laurent’s bold masculine interpretation of the legendary Opium fragrance. Created by master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, this Oriental Spicy composition evokes mystery, seduction, and timeless sophistication.
The fragrance opens with the aromatic freshness of star anise and the tart richness of black currant, immediately drawing you into its exotic heart. At the center lies a spicy blend of pepper and galanga (Thai ginger), adding sharpness and warmth. The dry-down reveals a deep, enveloping base of Bourbon vanilla, Tolu balsam, and Atlas cedar, creating a sensual and lasting trail.
Opium Pour Homme is for the confident, charismatic man who appreciates opulence and individuality. Ideal for evening wear or colder seasons, this iconic scent has remained a standout in the world of men’s fragrances for decades.
