Yves Saint Laurent 2017 EDP
Black Opium Floral Shock
by Nathalie Lorson , Marie Salamagne , Olivier Cresp , Honorine Blanc
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Floral Shock is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp, and Honorine Blanc. Black Opium Floral Shock opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Freesia, and Pear, settles into a heart of Solar Note, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Coffee, and Amberwood. Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium Floral Shock carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.
This flanker is a divisive one - some adore its lighter, fruitier twist on the original's DNA, while others find it too generic or surprisingly unpleasant. If you're after a fresh take on Black Opium, it might just be for you, but don't expect a 'shock' of florals.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its lighter, fruitier profile and moderate projection make it suitable for most casual outings and even the office, a step up from the original. However, its sweetness and flirtatious character might feel out of place in very formal settings or during intense physical activity.
