Yves Saint Laurent 2018 EDT
Black Opium (2018)
by Nathalie Lorson , Marie Salamagne , Olivier Cresp , Honorine Blanc
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (2018) is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp, and Honorine Blanc. Black Opium (2018) opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Coffee, and Pear, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Patchouli. Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium (2018) carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.
This EDT version of Black Opium is a solid choice for those who found the original EDP a bit too much. It's lighter, fresher, and a damn sight easier to wear, though some miss the intense coffee hit of its predecessor. Expect a divisive opinion - some adore its bright lift, others find it a watered-down disappointment.
