Opium (perfume)
''Opium'' is an Oriental-spicy perfume created for fashion brand Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) by perfumer Jean Amic and Jean-Louis Sieuzac of Roure, first marketed in 1977. Its top notes are a mixture of fruit and spices, with mandarin orange,〔Jan Moran lists "hesperides" instead.〕 plum, clove, coriander and pepper,〔 as well as bay leaf.〔 Its floral middle notes consist predominantly jasmine, rose and Lily of the Valley,〔 in addition to carnation, cinnamon, peach and orris root.〔 It is underlined by the sweet woody base note containing sandalwood, cedarwood, myrrh, opopanax, labdanum, benzoin and castoreum,〔 in addition to amber, incense, musk, patchouli, tolu and vetiver.〔
==Naming and theme==
''Opium'' caused a stir with its controversial name and brought accusations that brand designer Yves Saint Laurent was condoning drug use. In the United States, a group of Chinese Americans demanded a change of the name and a public apology from Saint Laurent for "his insensitivity to Chinese history and Chinese American concerns." They formed a committee called the American Coalition Against ''Opium'' and Drug Abuse, which expressed outrage at the choice of a name representing "a menace that destroyed many lives in China." But such controversies rather helped the perfume to be well-publicized, which soon became a best-selling scent. For its launch party in 1977, a tall ship ''Peking'' was rented from the South Street Seaport Museum in New York's East Harbor, and writer Truman Capote sat at the helm of the ship at the party.〔 The ship was draped with banners of gold, red, and purple, and the Oriental theme was displayed with a bronze statue of the Buddha, decorated with white cattleya orchids.〔 YSL carried the Oriental theme into its packaging design as well—the red plastic container holding the perfume's glass vial, designed by Pierre Dinand,〔 was inspired by , the small Japanese lacquered cases that were worn under kimonos and held perfumes, herbs and medicines.
''Opium'', Lilac Perfume Oil and White Musk from The Body Shop, Juniper Breeze from Bath & Body Works and Royal Secret formerly Germaine Monteil were among the perfumes tested in 2003 in a study of the relationship of scents to memory.
