Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Glitter EDP

Description

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Glitter Eau de Parfum is the same iconic Black Opium juice, the coffee-and-vanilla gourmand that redefined modern feminine fragrance when it launched in 2014, housed in a shimmering limited-edition glitter flacon. Crafted by perfumers Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp and Honorine Blanc, it opens with pear and pink pepper over orange blossom, deepens into an addictive coffee-jasmine-licorice heart, and finishes in a rich vanilla, patchouli and cashmere wood base.

Scent Character

• Sweet Gourmand (Vanilla, Coffee): 35%
• Woody Musk (Cashmere Wood, Patchouli, Cedar): 25%

Performance

Black Opium is famous for going the distance: expect 8+ hours of longevity and strong, room-filling sillage, especially in the first couple of hours. This is a fragrance that announces itself; a little goes a long way.
