10 Beautiful Things (p. 100) includes Yves Saint Laurent Opium.

Perfume Revolution by Frederic Malle (p. 134) talks about IFRA restrictions on fragrance ingredients and which perfumes might be affected.

    There’s also a brief article in Allure by Frederick Malle which touches on the issue of restrictions of certain fragrance ingredients.
