Description

Yves Saint Laurent has defined French avant-garde luxury since its inception, famously subverting traditional codes of femininity with the original Opium in 1977. In 2024, the house continues this legacy of daring with Black Opium Over Red, a vibrant evolution of the iconic coffee-floral signature that first captivated the world in 2014.

What does YSL Black Opium Over Red smell like?

This Eau de Parfum is a sophisticated Floral Fruity Gourmand that heightens the senses through a masterful play of shadow and light. It offers a more succulent and nocturnal interpretation of the collection, balancing the bitterness of dark roast coffee with the luscious sweetness of crimson fruits for a truly intoxicating trail.

  • Top Notes: The experience begins with a decadent burst of ripe black cherry, its nectarous and deep red sweetness providing a juicy contrast to the zesty, solar brightness of mandarin orange.
  • Middle Notes: The heart unfolds into a radiant bouquet of jasmine and orange blossom, white florals that shimmer with elegance. This floral core is uniquely grounded by the aromatic, slightly smoky depth of black tea, adding a layer of refined mystery.
  • Base Notes: The fragrance settles into its signature addictive base, where the dark intensity of roasted coffee pulses with energy. This is smoothed by the creamy, gourmand warmth of Madagascar vanilla and a hint of earthy patchouli, leaving a velvety and enduring signature on the skin.
