Yves Saint Laurent 2015 EDT
Black Opium
by Nathalie Lorson , Marie Salamagne , Olivier Cresp , Honorine Blanc
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015, created by Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp, and Honorine Blanc. Black Opium opens with Citrus, Mandarin, Pear, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Coffee, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Woody and Musk. Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.
A sparkling, fruity twist on the Black Opium DNA that trades the original’s darkness for juicy brightness, soft florals, and a breezy, wearable energy. Sweet but never cloying, it is perfect for daytime or whenever you want a flirtatious lift.

Best Seasons
The juicy fruits, tea, and bright florals make this EDT lively and airy for spring and summer, while the coffee and musky woods give it enough depth for fall. It is less plush and warm than the EDP, so less ideal in the coldest months.
Best Occasions
With its moderate projection and playful fruity-floral brightness, this is an excellent choice for daytime, dates, or casual situations. Its softness and sweetness suit the office, but it is not formal or sporty.
