Where to buy
Scandalous for some. Fascinating for others. Opium managed to cross decades to become one of the greatest juices in the history of feminine perfumery. 2014: Black Opium brings this great fragrance back into the spotlight and reinvents it for today's women. Once again, this fragrance ranks among the most popular scents on the planet. To celebrate its glory, Yves Saint-Laurent now offers it an all-new bottle. Focus on Black Opium Exotic Night, a limited edition of this star among feminine fragrances.
Black Opium Exotic Night, the fragrance of a dangerously seductive woman
Black Opium Exotic Night is a composition intended for a carefree woman, somewhat tomboyish, who enjoys taking on new challenges that are ever wilder. Black Opium Exotic Night flirts with the forbidden and seems guided only by its desires. The woman who wears this fragrance is free of any constraint, approaching life impulsively. Black Opium Exotic Night is a highly energizing fragrance, for all those who cannot stay still and who champion movement above all else. Once again, it takes us on a new adventure, leaving urban rage behind for a more lush forest.
Black Opium Exotic Night, a floral coffee
Black Opium Exotic Night is a fragrance with plenty of temperament, one whose scent is built essentially around coffee. Overflowing with energy, Black Opium Exotic Night plays in a rather dark register, daring the vibrant intensity of spices, particularly pink pepper. For more softness, this fragrance is nonetheless softened by a few white flowers, such as jasmine or orange blossom. These ingredients guarantee all of its femininity. A sparkling pear makes its way into the top notes for more gourmand character, while being relayed by a sultry vanilla. Finally, as if to once again assert its strong character, Black Opium Exotic Night ends with a blend of cedar and patchouli, ingredients of exceptional tenacity, casting an air of mystery and elegance here.
The new bottle of Black Opium Exotic Night
All that remains is to discover the real novelty of Black Opium Exotic Night: its bottle. While it may seem strangely familiar, it takes on a style quite different from its predecessors. This limited edition seems to have donned its festive attire, relying more than ever on glitter. This glitter forms palm leaves across all of its surfaces. Playing with light and shadow, these shimmering plants appear on transparent, slightly pink-tinted glass. A luminous porthole is still present at the center of this bottle. It seems to open a small window onto the fragrance it contains. The whole is topped with a small black cap, as if night were gradually falling over Yves Saint-Laurent's shelf.
