Opium pour Homme Yves Saint Laurent 1995 Eau de Parfum

Two years ago in December I could not resist! Doesn't come from anywhere, by the way. My mother had bought "Opium" for the first time in 1979 and since then she had it in her collection again and again. Until now and today. I grew up around the fragrance. I still like to smell it. Even if it's a little weaker than before. (My sensation)
I had a day off during the week. Always very pleasant. Because then you don't have all these people around you like on the weekends. You have time! Plenty of time.
So I decided to visit a perfume shop. Without testing any other scent I went directly to YSL "Opium Eau de Toilette" pour Homme. Tester in hand, lid off and "spray"! What a gentle blow hit my wrist! Suddenly it was warm and really winter in my nose! (On the day after the shave I applied extra only an odourless body lotion)
I couldn't help but get a spray on the neck. Let it work and enjoy! What a smell! Simply wonderful and almost never smelled! Just great! (Don't be offended that I am always very reserved with the technical terms because I simply never find the words!)
I bought a 100cc right away. Bottle of the finest quality.
In the beginning I only wore it in colder temperatures. But then the curiosity came to wear it at 32° Celsius. It works even then. But if - discreetly applied! Because then ingredients come to the fore which are not so effective at colder temperatures. Great!

Then last year around autumn.
The curiosity about eau de parfum became unbearable! But I was careful and looked at sales portals first. I wonder if somebody doesn't like the scent and wants to have it away for a bargain price? Because now comes the hack to it. It is almost nowhere available! At least here in Switzerland.
After feeling two weeks in the net rummage I finally found a seller who sold 50 ml (there is not bigger) of the fragrance for about 25 €. New and welded. "Because he got it as a gift but can't stand it" a bargain.
After querying the batch code I bought it. With a kiss on the hand at that price. ;)
A few days later the package arrived and I opened it immediately.
See there: Opium pour Homme Eau de Parfum.
Foil off, cardboard on, flaps left and right off.....and already there was very little smell. But really very little. Bottle out....violet lid off and then the event of the day: spray!
One right on the neck. What a bomb. What a blast of currant and vanilla. A direct announcement! Not for sissies! No, not with me! I'm made for man-centred men. It was a miracle I didn't fall off my saddle And the durability is terrific! All day long it remains well preserved on the skin. On clothes it even stays forever.
Now that I knew that the scent was almost nowhere to be found in this country, I searched further and found an OVP version that is stored in a well kept cabinet. Because the first bought fragrance is still 3/4 full. You really only need 1-2 sprayers maximum! Otherwise it could spill into the negative.
What I would like to say is: if you use public transport apply it early enough. Because I can imagine that there is a certain envy factor. ;)
In any case, he is certainly not necessarily the Blinkauf candidate. Test him and get to know him.
He became a very good buddy! And not everyone has that honor with me!

Keep your chin up!
Ride on!
