Yves Saint Laurent Opium Elixir Voluptueux

I second the approval of the glass stopper, not really for the practicality (If I'm wearing Opium, the last thing I worry about is discretion!) but because there is something so feminine and glamourous about the idea of a tiny drop behind the ears, in the cleavage etc. It's been a long time since I used Opium for no better reason than that everyone wears it. This may herald my return!

It’s so good to see YSL going back to the "glass stopper" or finger application of a scent. Especially one as potent as Opium (or specifically this version of Opium). Sometimes the spray bottle it too aggressive and it can be difficult to control where you want the scent to present itself. In days gone by, some of my most loved fragrances were bold and needed a delicate hand for application. Like Salvador Dali, Ombre Rose or Sinan by Jean-Marc Sinan. How I wish more designers would use the glass stopper or at least sell some of their bottles with no sprayer.
