Black Opium Neon, released by Yves Saint Laurent in 2019 and composed by Olivier Cresp, is the brighter, fruitier flanker of the coffee gourmand. Everyone describes it as gourmand, floral and citrus, and about half also find it musky.
The opening is mandarin orange and citron with pitahaya, or dragon fruit, a juicy, slightly tropical citrus. The heart keeps the coffee note that defines the line, set against orange blossom and jasmine sambac, so the roasted bitterness is softened by creamy white flowers. The base is vanilla and musk, sweet and smooth.
Most wearers report moderate longevity, with a quarter finding it long lasting, and the trail is moderate for most. It is voted for autumn and winter and splits almost evenly between night and day, which makes it a lighter cold-weather gourmand that still works in daylight.
