YSL Black Opium Over Red EDP for women is a vibrant and bold version of the classic Black Opium fragrance. It takes the signature elements of the original—rich coffee, sweet vanilla, and floral notes—and introduces a more daring and intense twist with added fruity and spicy elements. This version is designed to feel even more energetic, empowering, and seductive with a deep, vibrant, and spicy edge. Here’s a breakdown of the key notes:
Top Notes:
Red Berries: The opening is a fruity burst of red berries, which adds an intense, sweet, and slightly tangy brightness to the fragrance, setting it apart from the original Black Opium. It brings a juicy, vibrant energy to the top.
Pink Pepper: A spicy, zesty note that gives the fragrance an immediate kick of warmth and vibrancy, adding a bold edge to the fruity freshness of the red berries.
Heart Notes:
Coffee: As in the original Black Opium, coffee is a dominant and rich note, but here it is blended with the fruity and spicy notes, creating a warm and deep feeling, adding intensity to the heart of the fragrance.
Jasmine Sambac: This smooth, creamy floral note adds an elegant femininity, balancing the warmth of the coffee with its sweet, luxurious floral characteristics.
Orange Blossom: A sweet, delicate floral element that enhances the overall smoothness of the fragrance, creating a fresh and bright floral touch that balances the darker notes.
Base Notes:
Vanilla: A warm, sweet, and creamy note that softens the intensity of the coffee and red berries. It gives the fragrance a rich and smooth finish that’s inviting and sensual.
Patchouli: A woody, earthy note that adds depth and complexity, grounding the fragrance with its slightly smoky, herbal qualities.
Cedarwood: A dry, woody note that adds structure and refinement to the base, providing a more masculine edge and balancing the sweetness of the vanilla and berries.
Overall Impression:
YSL Black Opium Over Red EDP is an intense, vibrant, and seductive fragrance with a fresh fruity opening and a rich, warm heart.
