Yves Saint Laurent Opium Eau de Toilette 50ml Spray Sarah Jessica Parker Good for afternoons when you

Good for afternoons when you want the room to smell like something

Light enough for layering under other scents or for anyone who finds most florals cloying

It's the conditioner-plus-cleanser thing done properly: removes product and sebum without leaving your curl pattern confused about what it's supposed to do next

White lotus and clean amber — the watery-floral accord that smells of skin rather than perfume counter

fruity body mist that lands closer to skin than fragrance — citrus and peach in the opening

Yves Saint Laurent Opium Eau de Toilette 50ml Spray Sarah Jessica Parker Good for afternoons when youOpium opens with a hit of mandarin and caraway that doesn't apologise for being loud. By the second minute, the florals arrive orange blossom, jasmine, carnation layered thick enough that you can smell the stems. The base is amber, vanilla, and a creeping warmth that sits on skin for hours. 50ml EDT spray. A morning fragrance if you want the room to know you've arrived; an evening one if you want something with actual presence. Two sprays is plenty
