Opium, the Greatest.


Opium YSL vintage batch codes collectors Scent


"It will be the Greatest, and we will call it Opium"
(Yves Saint Laurent, 1976)


Sexy, Sultry, Seductive, Successful: it's Opium. After Samsara, this is my second tribute to wonderful scents of my youth: this time we talk about the Greatest one.
This article is divided in 7 parts:

- Opium at a glance
- Box and bottles through the years.
- Bottles "Year-by-Year"
- The Advertisements
- The Flankers
- The Opium Universe
- Tutorial Pics

I tried to make some sort of "Opium encyclopedia". Enjoy it!


FOREWORD: for any reference about YSL perfumes, (such as words as "batchcodes", "barcodes", "greendot", or "Charles of the Ritz", "Parfums Corp.", "Sanofi", "Gucci-Era", etc.... check this guide.) ....and remember YSL is famous for messing up boxes, labels and bottles! 

-----------------------------------------
Part 1:
OPIUM at a Glance



- Launched during Year 1977 in France (1978 in USA), it was the fifth perfume by Yves Saint Laurent (after "Y", 1964; "Pour Homme", 1971; "Rive Gauche", 1971; and "Eau Libre", 1975).

- Created by Jean Louis Sieuzac, Jean Amic and Raymond Chaillan, three noses from "Roure", YSL's preferred perfume factory.

- Opium "Eau de Toilette" was so concentrated that they didn't even launch an "Eau de Parfum" (19%, Eau de Toilette, 30% Parfum)

- It was the first mass fragrance using the, new, revolutionary "natural spray" mechanism, instead of the usual gas-propellant" one; 

- The "Perfume" was purposely sold at an higher price than "Chanel N.5". Despite this, every bottle was sold within hours.

- Opium was arguably the most successful fragrance in the world: in just nine months, it amassed the astonishing amount of $3 million. At the time, Yves Saint Laurent did not owned YSL perfumes (it was "Charles of the Ritz"), and he received only a small percentage for any bottle sold. Then he decided to buy back the whole thing (YSL "Parfums Corp.", in year 1986). Actually, it was YSL's fortune.

- The tassels of the perfume bottles were difficult to obtain; production slowed down periodically, because of their scarcity. 

- Opium is one of the most counterfeited perfumes in history: someone calculated there are ten fake bottles, for every authentic one. Therefore, it's likely a lot of people have never experienced the real Opium; they always wore a fake fragrance.

The Japanese "inro" and the Opium splash bottle

- The traditional Opium "splash" bottle, designed by Pierre Dinand, was inspired by the so-called "inro", a Japanese lacquered small case, worn under the kimono.

- The name "Opium" caused a violent stir because it was named after a drug. It was banned in a few countries, but the controversy made the fragrance to gain a lot of attention and publicity.

- The party held in New York (September 1978) for the launch in USA, was one of the wildest, iconic and most sumptuous of the Seventies. 

A very easy method to detect early bottles is to find the mark "80°" alcohol volume. Later than 1980, the sign "80°" was forbidden and substituted with "80%". Obviously, old boxes were used until end of stocks, so you can find "80°" in 1981,1982,1983...
Opium YSL vintage batch codes collectors Scent


-The original lineup (1977) was composed by:
- Three "EdT" spray bottles with unusual sizes: 36ml (1.2oz), 69ml (2.3oz), and 105ml (3.5oz) 
- Two "EdT" splash bottles: 60ml (2oz) and 120ml (4oz)
- Three "Parfum" bottles: 7.5ml (1/4oz), 15ml (1/2oz), 30ml (1oz), plus one 7.5 ml refillable "purse spray".
- No sticker under the bottle, but writings "embossed" on the glass and batchcode painted over (unfortunately, the batccode was very easy to remove) 

-Batchcodes: until year 2004, you will find 4-digits on the box (example: 1234) but 5 digits on the bottom of the bottle: the same 4 digits plus "1" or "2" (same example: 12341 or 12342).

......reformulated?
Opium was reformulated several times during years. According Rèmy F., once employed at L'Oreal (personal communication): "....let's consider the EdT during the last years: at least 5 or 6 reformulations occurred between 2000 and 2015.Not to mention EdP and Parfum." 
So, if you want experience something near the real Opium, be sure to find a bottle dated at least before year 2000. As usual, the older, the better.

- It was one the first fragrance to indicate the allergens list on the box, already in 2003.


- YSL was world-famous for confusing labels, bottles and boxes. All mixed up. You will need practice to come to terms with it. Just an example: the so-called "ParfumsCorp" Era ended in 1993. Well, you will find "ParfumsCorp" labels until 1996...... 
Another example: "Sanofi" Era began in 1993. Well, you will find "Sanofi" labels since 1996!   
To date Opium bottles with accuracy, in many cases you will need box and bottles together. Checking batchcodes with Barcodes, Greendots, Labels, etc, you will know all you need.

- Put it simply....

The EAN barcode.....
Opium YSL vintage batch codes collectors Scent
If you see the EAN barcode (i.e. the classical barcode) somewhere in the box, you can say it's after 1990.

Opium YSL vintage batch codes collectors Scent
Very difficult to see: the batch code written in the bottom side of the "Parfum" boxes. Black ink over black background!  

Opium YSL vintage batch codes collectors Scent
Golden, rounded cap? This means years 1991-2003.

Opium YSL vintage batch codes collectors Scent
Flat, red cap? This means years 2003-2009.

- In a few cases it is difficult to understand what we are talking about, because some bottles were produced only for some markets, and unavailable in others.

- Believe it or not, a still-sealed vintage , traditional "splash" bottle (60ml or 120ml, 2oz or 4oz.) is almost impossible to find nowadays, and it's one of the pieces most sought after by collectors.

  1. What a great and comprehensive tribute to this masterpiece! I know the post is several years old at this point, but I really appreciate your dedication and meticulousness in putting this together. Thanks to you I can confidently date the bottle I just purchased to 1996. What a gem! Thanks again!
