Black Opium Neon

by Olivier Cresp

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Neon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Olivier Cresp. Black Opium Neon opens with Pitahaya, Citron, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Coffee, Jasmine, and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium Neon carries a Statement verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This flanker either dazzles with its electric, tropical sweetness or falls flat, lacking the original's depth. It's a divisive one, beloved by many for its youthful vibrancy but criticised by some for poor longevity and an occasional 'cleaning product' note. Not a blind buy, but worth sampling if you're after a fruitier OPIUM.

About

Black Opium Neon opens with a vibrant, juicy burst of pitahaya and mandarin, painting a truly 'neon' picture. This exotic fruitiness then mellows into a heart of creamy coffee and radiant orange blossom, creating a sparkling floral sweetness. The base retains the Black Opium DNA, with a smooth, warm vanilla and soft musk that lingers on the skin, a touch less intense than its predecessor.
