Yves Saint Laurent

Black Opium Intense

Black Opium Intense by Yves Saint Laurent is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2016 in the designer price tier. It opens with coffee, moves into orange blossom and absinthe and dries down to vanilla. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Coffee Roasted, bitter and dark. Adds edge to sweet fragrances.

Heart

• Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
• Absinthe Bitter wormwood and anise. Green, boozy and slightly wicked.

Dry-down

• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
