About
Black Opium Eau de Toilette by Yves Saint Laurent is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women. Black Opium Eau de Toilette was launched in 2015. Top notes are Pear, Black Currant, Citruses and Green Mandarin; middle notes are Coffee, Tea, Jasmine and Orange Blossom; base notes are White Wood and White Musk. After EDP Black Opium presented a year ago, the house of Yves Saint Laurent will introduce a new edition, Black Opium Eau de Toilette at the end of August 2015. The new version of the fragrance arrives in the same flacon form and the key note remains the same—coffee, which is this time combined with fresh, greener shades of flowers, tea and fruit. The perfume version of the fragrance highlights a blend of flowers and coffee, while the new version EDT accentuates the green character of coffee. BLACK OPIUM EAU DE TOILETTE starts with fruity notes of tart and refreshing black currant combined with pear zest, citruses and green mandarin bark. The heart incorporates the key ingredient—coffee, which becomes fresher with jasmine tea notes and luminous sweet orange blossom. It highlights sensuality with white musk and white wood which subtly support the flowers and fruit of the composition. The advertising face of the fragrance Black Opium Eau de Toilette is British model Edie Campbell. The new fragrance can be expected on perfumery shelves starting from August 24, 2015. The bottle retains its unchanged design and can be differentiated from the EDP by its pink-golden reflections. The fragrance can be purchased as 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.
