Yves Saint Laurent launched Black Opium Over Red in 2024, a vibrant and warm fragrance for women. The opening is fresh and sweet, with green mandarin and cherry notes that are both juicy and slightly tart. As the scent evolves, jasmine and orange blossom add a soft, white floral heart, complemented by the subtle bitterness of black tea. The base is rich and comforting, with Madagascar vanilla and coffee providing a warm, powdery sweetness, while Indonesian patchouli leaf adds a subtle earthiness. The overall character is sweet and warm, with a hint of spice and nuttiness that keeps the vanilla from becoming cloying. It suits late autumn and early winter evenings, indoors in a cozy setting, or any occasion where a warm, inviting fragrance is desired.
