YSL Black Opium Over Red

The "Black Cherry Mocha." Black Opium Over Red is a Floral Fruity Gourmand that takes the iconic, dark coffee-and-vanilla foundation of the original Black Opium and throws a juicy, dark cherry twist into the mix. It opens with an immediate, deep burst of Dark Cherry and Mandarin Orange. It avoids smelling like medicinal cough syrup, leaning instead toward a rich, syrupy fruit liqueur. The heart softens with Black Tea and Jasmine, before settling into the signature cozy base of Coffee, Madagascar Vanilla, and Patchouli. It smells like a rich black forest cake or a dark, cherried hot chocolate sweet, playful, yet deeply seductive.

Fragrance Notes :

• Top : Cherry, Green Mandarin, Cassis (Blackcurrant).
• Heart : Jasmine Sambac, Orange Blossom, Black Tea Accord.
• Base : Madagascar Vanilla, Coffee Accord, Indonesian Patchouli.

Care and Use :

• Apply : This is a rich, warm gourmand. Apply 3–4 sprays. The projection is moderate noticeable and intoxicating in close quarters, creating a beautiful scent bubble without totally overwhelming an entire room. On the skin, it has solid longevity, lasting 6–8 hours.
• Occasion : The ultimate Fall, Winter, and Date-Night choice. The rich warmth of the coffee and cherry thrives beautifully in cooler weather. It is a fantastic choice for evening wear or when you want a fun, sweet twist on a dark classic.
• Store :  Because it contains a high amount of natural vanilla extracts and volatile fruit accords, store it away from bright vanity lights and high humidity to prevent the top cherry notes from losing their crispness.
