The iconic fragrance of the Polish People’s Republic was a winter hit! You can buy a substitute for Opium Yves Saint Laurent for PLN 92

Many iconic fragrances from the times of the Polish People’s Republic are experiencing a second youth. Today, vintage lovers can buy them in almost every drugstore. However, women once hunted them in Pewex.

Perfumes, both today and in the times of the Polish People’s Republic, were a great way to express individuality and style. Although there was a shortage of luxury goods in the years 1945-1989, including perfumes, they were still very popular among men. The undisputed leader among fragrances in our country at that time were, among others: Cafe perfumes.

Perfumes from the Polish People’s Republic period. A substitute for Opium Yves Saint Laurent, i.e. Oriental Cafe of Cafe Parfums

The oriental Cafe perfume by Cafe Parfums was created by Jean-Jacques Diener in 1978. The perfumer decided to compose a variation on the scent of coffee, which, as it turned out, was a hit. The woody-oriental note fits perfectly into the autumn-winter climate, as it combines spicy and warm patchouli aromas that immediately bring to mind, for example, a meeting with a friend for a cup of coffee.

The main fragrance lines are rosemary, spices, lime, patchouli and vetiver. So, instead of Yves Saint Laurent’s Opium, Polish women could buy a cheaper equivalent of this perfume in Pewex. They are still available in many stores and drugstores at prices ranging from PLN 80 to PLN 100.
