Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Over Red
The iconic coffee and white floral signature of Black Opium soaked in a luscious, liqueur-like bath of ripe red cherry.
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Over Red injects scandalous crimson fruit into one of the most famous fragrance icons of modern times. The opening takes off with a luscious burst of ripe red cherry and zesty green mandarin. The heart intertwines pristine jasmine and radiant orange blossom with subtle nuances of black tea. The drydown reveals the legendary addiction: rich dark roasted coffee beans, Madagascar bourbon vanilla, and earthy Indonesian patchouli. Providing 8 to 9 hours of sensual projection, it creates a deliciously intoxicating evening trail.
