Black Opium Extreme by Yves Saint-Laurent, a sip of amber and vanilla coffee

Like its predecessors, Black Opium Extreme by Yves Saint-Laurent carries within it a strong imprint of coffee. It therefore does not lack adrenaline and acts as a genuine energy boost in daily life. Nevertheless, its caffeinated breath is softened by cocoa, an ingredient that is at once bitter, rounded and generous. Its heart then expresses more femininity. Infinitely floral, it marries sambac jasmine and orange blossom, in a true surge of luminosity and opulence. Little by little, Black Opium Extreme by Yves Saint-Laurent darkens and plunges us into pitch-black night. Patchouli comes to give structure to the whole formula and increase its tenacity. Bourbon vanilla, meanwhile, amplifies its smooth character.

The glittery bottle by Yves Saint-Laurent

Black Opium Extreme by Yves Saint-Laurent has a bottle with a shape identical to that of its predecessors. It combines curves and a square form, while featuring a round window at its center. This glass circle resembles a window opening the gaze onto multiple secrets. For its Extreme edition, the Yves Saint-Laurent fragrance takes on a shiny finish inspired by an endless night. The whole is a tribute to the Parisian runways, in the iconic style of the Yves Saint-Laurent brand. The woman who wears this fragrance is a captivating creature of the night.
