Claudia Winkleman's signature scent, YSL's Opium Eau de Parfum, is currently available for less, with the eau de toilette version reduced from £90 to £72 at Boots when shoppers enter code FRAG20 at checkout.
The Traitors host revealed her fragrance choice in an interview with Grazia last year, describing the scent as smelling "dirty and musky." She 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!"

Offering notes of vanilla, amber and patchouli, the YSL Opium Eau de Parfum is available at several retailers. The 90ml bottle costs £140 at Sephora, while the 50ml size is priced at £99 at JD Williams.

What Fragrance Lovers Think
More than 200 five-star reviews have been left for the YSL Opium scent on the Boots website. One 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 commented: "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."
One customer noted: "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."
Another 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."
