Black Opium Glowing

That was not enough to weaken Yves Saint-Laurent, and Opium at least had the merit of being widely talked about. It is now considered a great classic of feminine perfumery, more recently modernized in the form of Black Opium. Today, Yves Saint-Laurent has decided to tell us a new chapter of its story, this time more focused on freshness and vivacity: Black Opium Glowing.

Black Opium Glowing, the fragrance of a woman full of vitality

Black Opium Glowing is the fragrance of a woman overflowing with energy. This new fragrance speaks perfectly to the current generation and is easily imagined worn by an elegant, chic, lively and nonchalant person. Black Opium Glowing is to the year 2016 what Opium was to the 70s: a new legend. It approaches life in a more experimental way, but just as impulsively. Dangerously contemporary, it stands out as an obvious choice for all women who like to take risks, buzz with desire and flirt with forbidden things. It promises a refreshing and mystical journey, toward an illicit elsewhere, in a sultry, passionate and fearless world. Black Opium Glowing is an addictive and sparkling composition. It is designed for a woman energetic, impulsive and hooked on fun, […] living in the moment and always looking for the unexpected. If this portrait sounds familiar, this new incandescent eau de toilette is made for you!

Black Opium Glowing, an adrenaline shot made of transparency

On the aesthetic side, Black Opium Glowing has managed to preserve the heritage of its predecessors while adding new details of its own. Black Opium Glowing has the same silhouette, and its iconic central porthole is still present. Its glittery surface, however, gains a new transparency. Thus, its new visual perfectly echoes the freshness contained in this new fragrance. Black Opium Glowing is without doubt the lightest and most invigorating version of Black Opium. Its black coffee accord is still present and shows up from the top notes. However, this time it is rounded out with juicy pear, and freshened with lemon and bergamot. Then, at its heart, Black Opium Glowing turns toward more femininity. Its composition takes on the character of a few white flowers. Sambac jasmine brings an undeniable opulence here, while orange blossom illuminates everything with its sun-kissed aura. Black Opium Glowing finally ends with a darker base. Cedar and patchouli intertwine their woody flavors. Musk, for its part, elevates the whole with its sensual and addictive animalic quality.
