YSL Black Opium Intense EDP for women is a more intense and sultry version of the original Black Opium, amping up the signature dark and seductive elements. It blends rich, bold coffee and sweet notes with a deeper, more luxurious composition, making it a perfect fragrance for evening wear or special occasions. Here's a breakdown of the key notes:
Top Notes:
Coffee: As with the original, coffee is a prominent note, but in Black Opium Intense, it’s even deeper and more intense, providing a rich, roasted, and almost chocolate-like quality that sets the tone for the fragrance.
Absinthe: This adds a unique, aromatic herbal note that brings an edge to the opening. It's slightly anise-like and adds a mysterious and sophisticated twist to the fragrance.
Mandarin Orange: A burst of fresh citrus that adds brightness and energy to the opening, balancing the darker, more intense notes with a lively, zesty top.
Heart Notes:
Jasmine Sambac: A creamy, white floral note that adds a feminine and luxurious element to the fragrance. It softens the intensity of the coffee and absinthe, making the heart feel more elegant and refined.
Orange Blossom: A sweet, delicate floral note that enhances the creamy floral heart of the fragrance, providing an added touch of freshness and floral complexity.
Base Notes:
Vanilla: A warm, creamy, and sweet note that smooths out the richness of the coffee and absinthe. The vanilla adds a comforting, inviting sweetness, making the base feel luxurious and enveloping.
Cedarwood: A dry, woody note that gives the fragrance structure and depth, adding a grounded, slightly earthy element to balance the sweetness of the vanilla.
Musk: A sensual, smooth note that adds warmth and creaminess to the fragrance, giving it a long-lasting, seductive finish.
