Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium EDP opens using a moderate projection of sweet, fruity, white flowery, gourmand, and spicy notes. The opening is inviting, gentle, natural, and delectable. The coffee, cherry, cherry pepper, orange blossom, and jasmine and the noticeable opening notes. The coffee within this fragrance can be described as mild blonde tasting coffee, aromatic, without being unpleasant or daring.
The cherry is a delectable sweet note, moist and sweet. The orange and cherry blossom produce a floral accord, pleasant, hot, rich with a citrus dash. The pink pepper, bitter almond, and licorice are part of the service notes; they remain two steps supporting the featured notes and add a spicy and nutty touch. As time passes, the vanilla develops and climbs to support the sweetness initially created by the pear which has taken one step towards the back.
The java and white florals stay at the peak of the fragrance, along with the vanilla as featured notes. At length, the patchouli, cedar, and cashmere wood combine the service notes group, and the first projection takes down one step to moderate to a low. The odor is virtually linear; the pear is significantly more noticeable throughout the opening. The initial notes are glowing, delectable, and nicely defined.
Towards the dry down, the odor loses this brightness; the cherry requires a step back, the vanilla develops, replacing the pear’s sweetness, the fragrance becomes tender with a woody touch. After Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium EDP has attained its complete down dry, it could be outlined as a medium to a very low projection, sweet vanilla, java, white floral jasmine, orange blossom, hot, fruity pear, and woody fragrance with a few nutty accords.
