Black Opium Over Red

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Over Red is a 2024 women's Eau de Parfum that takes the addictive Black Opium formula and infuses it with juicy cherry and warm spices for an even more indulgent experience. This is the boldest, most gourmand member of the Black Opium family, a fragrance that celebrates excess and sensuality without apology.

It is dark, sweet, and completely captivating. The opening features cherry and green mandarin, creating an immediately juicy, fruit-forward introduction.

Cherry is the defining new element, bringing its rich, slightly tart, dark fruit sweetness that feels both playful and sophisticated. Green mandarin adds a bright, zesty citrus lift that prevents the cherry from becoming too heavy.

The heart of jasmine, orange blossom, and black tea brings floral complexity and depth. Jasmine provides its rich, creamy, intoxicating white floral beauty.

Orange blossom adds honeyed elegance. Black tea contributes a dry, slightly smoky, tannin-like quality that adds unexpected sophistication and bridges the fruity top and the dark base.

The base is the legendary Black Opium foundation of Madagascar vanilla, coffee, and Indonesian patchouli leaf. Vanilla provides deep, creamy, almost boozy sweetness.

Coffee adds its roasted, slightly bitter, energizing richness that has been the signature of the Black Opium line since its inception. Patchouli brings dark, earthy depth that grounds the sweetness.

Black Opium Over Red is a fall and winter evening fragrance, perfect for nights out, parties, and occasions where you want to make a bold impression. It projects strongly and lasts through the night.

This is for the woman who loves the original Black Opium but wants something even more dramatic.
