The Story Behind Opium Eau De Toilette
Launched in 1977 to immediate controversy and acclaim, Opium was created by perfumers Jean-Louis Sieuzac and Jean Amic. The fragrance caused a sensation with its provocative name and revolutionary oriental composition during an era of lighter, greener scents. Yves Saint Laurent himself was deeply involved in its creation, seeking a fragrance that embodied his fascination with oriental art and aesthetics. The perfumers masterfully blended exotic spices, incense, and rich amber to create a scent that challenged conventions and became a symbol of YSL’s boundary-pushing creative vision—a fragrance that continues to be an icon in perfumery history. 👑
Experience Opium Throughout The Evening
Begin your evening with the intoxicating blend of mandarin orange, bergamot, and plum infused with exotic spices that immediately announce your presence with confidence. As the night unfolds, the heart notes reveal a luxurious floral bouquet centered around jasmine, rose, and lily of the valley, creating an aura of sophisticated femininity. In the late hours, the base notes of amber, vanilla, patchouli, and myrrh develop into a hypnotic, sensual trail that lingers with remarkable persistence. The complex, multi-layered nature of Opium makes it a perfect signature scent for the woman who embraces her power and isn’t afraid to make a statement. 🌌

How to Apply Perfume & Best Spots for Long-Lasting Scent
1- How to Apply Perfume Correctly:
- Spray from the right distance – Hold the bottle 10-15 cm away from your skin for an even distribution.
- Do not rub your wrists together – This breaks down fragrance molecules and reduces longevity.
- Apply on clean, moisturized skin – Use an unscented moisturizer before spraying to help the scent last longer.
- Spray after a shower – Open pores absorb the fragrance better, enhancing its longevity.
Best Perfume Application Points:
Pulse points (These emit heat, which enhances scent diffusion):
Wrists
Behind the ears
Neck
Inside elbows
Behind the knees
These are water-based solutions that may contain certain vitamins.
- Additional spots for a subtle touch:
- Hair – Use a hair mist or spray on a brush before running it through your hair.
- Clothes – Fabrics hold perfume for longer, but avoid delicate materials like silk.

35.0 KDMakeup for special events: shine uniquely!
A special day requires a special look, and bright makeup will be its highlight. Regardless of whether it is a wedding, a corporate event, or a romantic dinner, the right makeup will help you feel confident and unforgettable. An effective skincare routine starts with an effective cleansing routine. Far from being the overly aggressive detergents of yesteryear, today’s cleansers often have gentle, mild formulas that work well with the specific needs of different skin types, removing impurities and make-up residue without stripping the skin of its natural oils.
Make-up should harmonize with your outfit, hairstyle and accessories.
If you’ve been following Care to Beauty for a while, you that our specialty is French pharmacy skincare. These were the first brands we worked with and we continue to identify with their ethos–for us, there’s nothing better than gentle skincare products that focus on resolving skin concerns without disrupting the skin barrier.
If you’re looking to replenish your skincare stash with French pharmacy products at discounted prices, we have offers of up to 50%–time to stock up on iconic moisturizers like Avenge Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Cream, or rich lip balms like NUKE Rave de Miel Honey Lip Balm Ultra Nourishing and Repairing.
Here at Care to Beauty, we’re sunscreen evangelists: if you use nothing else in your daily skincare routine, use sunscreen. Sunscreen has multiple benefits, ranging from the cosmetic (it helps prevent photoaging and some forms of dark spots and hyperpigmentation) to the health-related (it’s our first line of defense against skin cancer). Between mineral and chemical sunscreens, tinted or untinted, in milky or creamy textures, or even gel-like consistencies, there’s a world of sunscreen options out there, so we know there’s one for you.
