The soft rose-coloured label immediately catches your eye on the deep black flacon furnished with a touch of glitter, and the contrast is not just optical either. While the flacon’s black surface is rather rough and reminiscent of sand polish, the label is soft and smooth. It arouses veritable curiosity as to whether the fragrance also contains such wonderfully contrasting elements.
The top note of Black Opium appears with pink pepper and orange blossoms, which are briefly but strongly presented. Immediately afterwards, the coffee aroma combined with sweet jasmine appears, which gives the Eau de Parfum Spray a tart, yet pleasant direction. The perfume by Yves Saint Laurent then becomes strong and sweet in the base note again as well, where the soft and creamy vanilla is enmeshed by cedar and patchouli, thus giving the perfume its very own direction.
