YSL Black Opium Le Parfum EDP for women is a more opulent and luxurious version of the original Black Opium fragrance. It intensifies the signature warm, sweet, and coffee-centric elements of the original while adding depth with richer, more indulgent notes. The fragrance is bold, sensual, and designed for those who love a deep, captivating scent. Here’s a breakdown of the key notes:
Top Notes:
Coffee: As with the original Black Opium, coffee is the star of the fragrance, but in Le Parfum, it is even more prominent, rich, and roasted. It gives the fragrance a deep, bold, and almost gourmand-like character that is both energizing and intense.
Mandarin Orange: A fresh, citrusy opening that provides a burst of brightness and contrast to the deeper, darker coffee note, giving the fragrance a lively, zesty introduction.
Heart Notes:
Jasmine Sambac: A rich and creamy floral note that is sweet and luxurious. It adds an elegant floral touch to the fragrance, balancing the deep, dark coffee with its soft, feminine qualities.
Orange Blossom: A sweet, delicate floral that enhances the overall smoothness and warmth of the fragrance, giving it a fresh, uplifting dimension in the heart.
Base Notes:
Vanilla: A warm, creamy, and sweet note that blends seamlessly with the coffee, enhancing the richness and depth of the fragrance. The vanilla gives Le Parfum a more decadent and enveloping feel, adding warmth and smoothness to the dry-down.
Tonka Bean: Adds a rich, sweet, and slightly nutty quality to the base, giving the fragrance even more depth and complexity while enhancing its overall sweetness.
Cedarwood: A dry, woody note that adds balance and structure to the fragrance, making it feel grounded and sophisticated while providing an elegant contrast to the sweeter notes.
Amber: Adds warmth and a resinous, slightly powdery quality, contributing to the fragrance’s sensual and enveloping finish.
