Which Should You Buy?
A juicy, addictive cherry-vanilla gourmand with a creamy coffee twist, Black Opium Over Red is a bold, modern flanker that seduces with plush sweetness and a lingering, cozy warmth. Perfect for making memories after dark.
Opium Red follows the fruity-floral-vanilla arc of YSL Black Opium Over Red but with a louder, candier opening and a simpler vanilla-amber base that fades faster than the original's cherry-coffee-gourmand richness.
