The Traitors star Claudia Winkleman previously revealed her go-to ‘classic’ scent by YSL, and it currently has money off on the high street
Claudia Winkleman has returned to host a new season of The Celebrity Traitors, and she looks amazing as ever. This series has seen the presenter step out in a tailored check suit, a colourful striped knit and tartan ensembles, but something we’re more keen to copy is her signature scent.
When she spoke to Grazia last year, Claudia revealed the exact fragrance she opts for to smell “dirty and musky,” and there’s a way to get it for less. The scent in question is YSL’s Opium Eau de Parfum, which also comes in an eau de toilette version that drops from £90 to £72 when Boots shoppers enter code FRAG20 at checkout.
Sharing her go-to perfume in the interview, the TV icon said: “I only wear Yves Saint Laurent Opium EDP. I always opt for the classic, old, brown bottle – it smells of pure filth. It’s the best smell – it’s musky, and it’s dirty. I don’t want to smell girly, I don’t want to smell like I’ve just walked across a meadow. I don’t want any of that. I want to smell like sex!”

What do fragrance lovers think?
It’s not just Claudia who loves the YSL Opium scent, as more than 200 five-star reviews have been left on the Boots website. One delighted shopper said: “This is a wonderful, classic fragrance that you can wear all year round. It contains beautiful notes that are exotic and warm.”
Another buyer raved: “Nothing compares to the warm smells that come out of Opium. It’s a complex smell that stays on all day, and the compliments never stop. I miss the lotion too. Classy and daring aroma that leaves customers wanting more.”
This customer wrote: “Gorgeous scent, lovely and strong, and it really takes you back a few years! The only downside for me, though, is it doesn’t last very long at all (many scents can be like that on my skin), and I am disappointed by this.”
Yet, someone else added: “I have been wearing Opium ever since it came out and it complements my whole life. I would go to meetings and one man said that he knew when I entered the room by the scent.”
