Composition of the fragrance:
The opening accord of this Eau de Parfum is like a refreshing burst of energy, blending sweet cherry liqueur with sparkling green mandarin. Once the initial fruity notes have settled, the heart notes of the fragrance, which are irresistibly feminine, emerge. Together with green tea, the delicate, incredibly feminine white flowers give the composition of the fragrance an elegant and radiant touch. Two iconic elements come together at the finish: warm vanilla and coffee extract. This brings an intense, bold aroma that is enhanced by the sensual essence of patchouli.
Story of the fragrance:
The perfumer Nathalie Lorson and her team wanted to elevate the legendary Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium fragrance and bring it into the juicy world of fruit – in this case, cherries. Their vibrant redness is reflected in the sexy flacon, which has been dressed up in a red coat for an even more sensual edge.
