Amber Vanilla
Black Opium Extreme is a 2021 release of Yves Saint Laurent. It is the first Black Opium from the brand that is eventually really about coffee. It looks YSL finally heart out the fragrance community rather than concentrated on pleasing the masses. This extreme version is a fine piece of work.
The perfume opens with coffee and cacao. It is rather a strong espresso than sweetened frape mochaccino frappuccino latte whatever. This espresso is softened by a dose of cacao which works together pretty nicely. The middle is a soft floral with jasmine and orange blossom. Vanilla together with patchouli at the bottom help with lasting.
We have an impressive winter night-time creation here; however, I would still expect a stronger lasting power based on the great potential of the note profile. At the end of the day, I would not be mad to have Black Opium Extreme in my perfume wardrobe.
One espresso, please. With no milk, a bit of sugar. Mysterious yet easy to talk to.
