Black Opium Intense is a gourmand fragrance from the French house Yves Saint Laurent, composed by Olivier Cresp, Nathalie Lorson, Honorine Blanc and Marie Salamagne and released in 2019. Sweetness leads, with a floral side and a lighter woody touch.
Boysenberry opens with a dark, juicy berry sweetness, and absinthe adds a bitter, herbal edge. The heart brings orange blossom and jasmine sambac, creamy and rich, alongside coffee, which gives a roasted warmth. In the base, vanilla brings a creamy sweetness, licorice a dark, slightly aniseed note, and sandalwood a smooth woodiness.
About half of wearers find its longevity moderate, and most report moderate sillage. It is voted for winter and autumn and mostly for evenings. It suits nights out and cold weather, and someone who likes dark, sweet coffee-and-vanilla scents with a berry and licorice twist.
