Yves Saint Laurent sought to make a romantic coffee fragrance with Black Opium. They did just that. When you first spray this on, you will notice the dark sweetened coffee accord from the heart. It’s dosed in such a high quantity that it is the most prominent smell from start to finish. That coffee is met by warm pink pepper and sweet pear at the beginning. Licorice then joins in with creamy bitter almond and sweet vanilla with an added touch of chocolatey patchouli. The base consists of warm cedar and cashmere wood to give the sweet notes a woody base for depth.
Black Opium is a seductive sweet coffee fragrance for women. This is perfect for a date night or just a comfort scent for lounging around the house and watching Christmas flicks. It is best suited to warm up those romantic evenings in late autumn or winter when you need something to cut through the cold air.
