The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, Black Opium Hair Mist by Yves Saint Laurent is a bold and captivating Oriental Vanilla fragrance that marries the richness of coffee with the warmth of vanilla. The composition opens with a zesty citrus accord, which gives way to a heart of white florals and spicy notes, balanced by woody undertones and a hint of patchouli. This dynamic blend creates an intriguing contrast between freshness and depth, making it both invigorating and comforting.
Apply this hair mist lightly to avoid overpowering the scent. The citrus notes are quick to fade, so layer it over the base fragrance for a balanced effect throughout the day. It's best suited for daytime wear when its lively freshness can shine.
