Available just for the holidays, for 50 special individuals, this flamboyant version of the perfume created in 1977 is captured in a case worthy of the “Empress of China’s perfume”. Monsieur Saint Laurent wanted the flask to be the door to an imaginary universe. Opium l’Objet Rare is this splendor, this scent of East Asia, so powerful and sensual. This passage towards an otherworldly escape. As an homage to China and the genius of the Orient, Saint Laurent confided Manuela Paul-Cavallier with the task of the iconic bottle inspired by Inro. From this precious case of the samurai, this artist, skilled in gold-working, brings out a thousand changing reflections of light that dazzle our emotions. Opium l’Objet Rare for her is “like a voyage where charm and sensuality intertwine with gold, transparencies, and fluid lubricity”.
Fashioned by the artist, the frosted, sepia-toned tinted glass is covered with pure gold leaves, dissimulating the fragrance in the luminous and enigmatic poetry of gold volutes. At the center of the flask, the gold circle makes another appearance, an open door towards escapism, where Opium’s iconic black cord lives on to signal the links binding the woman to her essence. Opium was born as a scandal, breaking taboos and exalting the simmering sensuousness of a liberated woman. Today, it’s perfect for creating a custom-made dream. This is why each flask is unique. There’s a story, a unique harmony, the incarnation of an unspoken beauty. Marked from 1 to 50 on each flask, the gold reflections waltz to the rhythm of the light; like this perfume, it calls out to a great personality.
