A thrilling sweet temptation. Dark black coffee and luminous white flowers are dipped in a juicy cherry accord.

Experience YSL Black Opium, the rock couture fragrance for women by Yves Saint Laurent. Captivating, unparalleled in provocation, deliberatively seductive. Starring YSL Beauty global make-up and fragrance ambassador Zoë Kravitz.

Scent: Black Opium Over Red awakens the senses with a delectable rush of juicy cherry. With dark roasted black coffee and a smooth vanilla infusion, the now iconic Black Opium signature is re-interpreted with a playful twist. Sweet yet seductive, a burst of a red cherry creates the ultimate fragrance temptation. Paired with the bright floral notes of jasmine and orange blossom, the scent blooms with thrilling freshness.

Bottle: In striking fashion, the Black Opium bottle goes Over Red. Translucent red lacquering dresses the glass, creating a precious jewel-like effect on the bottle. At the heart of the fragrance, its appearance intensifies, with a blacked-out window detail.

How to use:

• For light intensity: spray in a cloud around your head and shoulders, and let the fragrance fall gently around you
• For medium intensity: spray in a y-shape across your body, beginning at one shoulder and finishing at the other. If you are wearing jewellery it is a great alternative to spraying your neck
• For added intensity: apply perfume directly to your pulse points and/or hot spots (wrist, inner elbow and lower neck). Here the heat of your body will allow the fragrance to reveal its full trail. Include shoulders and back to intensify your perfume trail

• Garments: perfume the inside of your jacket and coats for a medium trail. For added intensity of fragrance go further and perfume your blouse/jumper
• Scarves: for lighter fragrance, spray a scarf and wrap the scarf around your neck to transfer fragrance onto yourself gently
• Bathing: spritz perfume on warm bath water for an indulgent experience
