Black Opium Floral Shock is a floral fragrance from the French house Yves Saint Laurent, composed by Olivier Cresp, Nathalie Lorson, Honorine Blanc and Marie Salamagne and released in 2017. Flowers lead, with sweet and citrus sides behind them and lighter musk and amber.
Pear, lemon and bergamot open with a juicy, bright citrus, while freesia adds a fresh floral note. The heart brings gardenia, orange blossom and white flowers, creamy and sunny, with solar notes adding warmth. In the base, coffee gives a light roasted sweetness, white musk a clean softness and amberwood a dry, ambery wood.
About half of wearers find its longevity moderate, and most report moderate sillage. It is voted equally for autumn and spring and worn day and night. It suits work and casual evenings, and someone who wants a brighter, more floral take on the coffee-vanilla theme.
