Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Dazzling Lights Edition is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp, and Honorine Blanc. Black Opium Dazzling Lights Edition opens with Orange Blossom, Pink Pepper, and Pear, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Coffee, Licorice, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Cedar, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium Dazzling Lights Edition carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Seriously, YSL? Another Black Opium flanker that smells exactly like the original. While it's a popular scent profile, this edition really just highlights the cynical marketing playbook of repackaging the same juice in a 'new' bottle.

About

A familiar and comforting blend, Black Opium Dazzling Lights opens with a spark of pink pepper and sweet pear, balanced by the gentle glow of orange blossom. The heart brews a rich coffee note with delicate jasmine and a hint of intriguing licorice, softened by almond. It settles into a warm, inviting base of vanilla and cashmere wood, underpinned by earthy patchouli and sturdy cedar, making for a creamy, gourmand-leaning experience.
