The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021 by Yves Saint Laurent, Black Opium Zebra Collector is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance created by perfumers Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp, and Honorine Blanc. This composition opens with the vibrant freshness of pear and pink pepper, leading into a heart of orange blossom and jasmine sambac that adds a delicate floral touch. The base notes of vanilla, coffee, and warm spices create a rich and inviting atmosphere, grounded by woody accords like patchouli, cashmere wood, and cedar.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for warmth that builds over time. The pear and pink pepper top notes are bright but fleeting, so let it settle into its rich base notes before heading out.
