Our Verdict

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum Over Red brings a vibrant new dimension to the iconic Black Opium collection by introducing an addictive cherry accord to its signature coffee and vanilla heart. The result is a fragrance that's playful yet sophisticated, combining luscious fruit, radiant florals, and creamy gourmand notes into a composition that feels both modern and undeniably luxurious.

The fragrance opens with an irresistible blend of juicy cherry accord and sparkling mandarin.

As the fragrance develops, the unmistakable Black Opium signature emerges through rich coffee, luminous orange blossom, and elegant jasmine.
