YSL Black Opium Eau de Parfum Intense


Addicts of YSL’s intoxicating fragrance, Black Opium, have a new hit to chase. The new Eau de Parfum Intense is laced with the hallucinatory powers of blue absinthe, exceptionally enigmatic with its heady herbal bite. The liqueur is muddled with anis and a base of strong, black coffee, before being lifted by a jasmine sweetness, orange blossom and blue boysenberry in a sensual smoke-filled haze. A raw spritz is enough to seize the senses, which tails to an aromatic balm as it wears, redolent with a magnetism and mystery that lives by night. Housed in a stardust-flecked blue bottle, luminous like a moonbeam or sprawling city lights, this is a habit waiting to happen.
