Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent for women opens with a vibrant, playful scent of dragon fruit. This bold beginning is softened by the citrusy nuances of mandarin orange and a gentle whiff of citron, creating a sweet, fruity sensation. This sweetness intensifies as the fragrance unfolds to reveal its heart, dominated by the blossoming scent of orange flower. The floral middle notes also feature the exotic aroma of jasmine sambac, while a subtle hint of hibiscus absolute adds a tropical and somewhat mysterious touch.
