The Black Opium Family Welcomes a New Addition

The Black Opium family has recently welcomed a new member: Black Opium Over Red, a fragrance that combines the classic Black Opium scent with the increasingly popular cherry trend. As expected, the release of this flanker has generated a lot of excitement among perfume enthusiasts, who were eager to experience the unique blend of cherry and Black Opium.

Upon initial application, Black Opium Over Red smells sweet and milky, with strong hints of cherry and chocolate, reminiscent of Baskin-Robbins ice cream. However, women's perfumes quickly takes a surprising turn, introducing a sour citrus note that adds depth and complexity to the scent. The pyramid of Black Opium Over Red includes green mandarin, but as with many fragrances, the actual scent differs slightly from the predicted pyramid.

As the fragrance settles, it reveals a fizzy drink note, similar to a cherry-flavored soda, but with a twist. Instead of being overpoweringly sweet like Coca-Cola, it has a more refreshing and tingling quality, much like a tart orange or mandarin. This unique blend creates a distinctive and memorable scent that sets Black Opium Over Red apart from other fragrances.

While some may find the sweetness of Black Opium Over Red off-putting, the overall effect is well-crafted and destined for popularity. This fragrance exudes a sense of luxury and sophistication, making it perfect for special occasions. Its beautiful red bottle, said to resemble a trinket from the dressing table of one of Dracula's brides, only adds to its appeal.

while Black Opium Over Red may not be everyone's cup of tea due to its sweetness, it is undeniably a well-made fragrance that showcases the versatility and creativity of Yves Saint Laurent's perfumery skills. Whether you're a fan of sweet and fruity scents or prefer something more unique and complex, Black Opium Over Red is certainly worth trying.
