Description

The floral and fruity lightness of the Black Opium Floral Shock fragrance

The flowers were then revealed less heady than before. Likewise, 2016 saw the appearance of Black Opium Nuit Blanche, a fragrance playing on the opposition of black or white. Also, it seems that Yves Saint-Laurent wanted to write a new chapter in the history of his cult essence. The brand has just announced the upcoming release, early 2017, of its new Black Opium Floral Shock.

The floral and fruity lightness of the Black Opium Floral Shock fragrance

Black Opium Floral Shock begins with an intense sensation of freshness. In addition, it is based on a citrus accord of bergamot and lemon. Bergamot is a fruit whose greenish flesh is far too sour and too bitter to be edible. On the other hand, its bark is very famous in perfumery, renowned for its zesty, tangy, sparkling and floral scent. It is accompanied here by the rising freshness of lemon for a most invigorating result. The freesia then completes this surge of its floral luminosity close to that of jasmine. Its suave accents are counterbalanced by the fruity and juicy aspect of the pear. Nevertheless, the floral scents of Black Opium Floral Shock end up taking the upper hand in its heart. This one is like a huge bouquet of white flowers embellished with solar notes. The gardenia dominates there very largely. This brings a more assertive character to this perfume while tinting it with green accents. Orange blossom is also very present there. This does not increase the summery and radiant aspect of this essence. Then, while the white musks leave a clean feeling behind this fragrance, Black Opium Floral Shock ends with a more enveloping trail. This contains a balsamic amber accord associated with the syrupy and euphoric smell of coffee. All of this required the collaboration of four great perfumers.

A luminous revisit of the Yves Saint-Laurent bottle

If Black Opium Floral Shock is very different from its elders in terms of scent, its bottle, meanwhile, has retained a family resemblance. Its allure of yesteryear has remained intact and it combines voluptuous and feminine curves with a square and geometric silhouette. The set is also still decorated with a round porthole on its front face. It thus seems to be an open window on the secrets contained within this case. The glitter finish of Black Opium has also been taken up in this new version. However, it is much less gloomy than it used to be. Black Opium Floral Shock is infinitely brilliant, sparkling with light like a rough diamond.

Long decried, the Opium collection of the Yves Saint-Laurent brand has aroused all emotions since its creation in 1977. Hated by some, adored by others, this juice is considered to be one of the greatest perfumes in the world. history. Also, as if to further extend its notoriety, the Yves Saint-Laurent brand has decided to revisit it. The newcomer to the range is called Black Opium Floral Shock. This is presented as a “floral and solar coffee”. So, what is really hidden under this name and to whom do we owe this new masterpiece?

Yves Saint-Laurent collaborates with four perfumers

Black Opium Floral Shock is a very ambitious fragrance. Indeed, it succeeds several legends of perfumery. It therefore had to live up to its predecessors. However, as if to ensure the coup, the Yves Saint-Laurent house chose to have four perfumers collaborate on this project. Thus, Black Opium Floral Shock is a compendium of all their creativity. This fragrance was notably developed by Nathalie Lorson, Honorine Blanc, Marie Salamagne and Olivier Cresp. Each of them is now one of the most renowned perfumers on the planet. Nathalie Lorson and Olivier Cresp both grew up in the region of Grasse, the perfume capital of the world. Thus, very early on, they were immersed in the world of smells and the work of raw materials seems to be anchored in their genetic heritage. Of elsewhere, it is precisely their solar and Mediterranean origins that we find in the composition of Black Opium Floral Shock. Marie Salamagne, for her part, is passionate about art in general. Thus, she designs each of her perfumes with the same fervor that guides her in the world of music, painting or dance. Finally, Honorine Blanc has a more scientific vision of perfumes. Together, the latter have therefore developed a very complex but equally harmonious recipe. The result is an exceptional perfume emanating from four true geniuses. she designs each of her perfumes with the same fervor that guides her in the world of music, painting or dance.

The very elaborate recipe of Black Opium Floral Shock

Black Opium Floral Shock begins with a very aerial breath. Thus, it immediately displays its lightness. This fragrance begins with a blend of citrus fruits dominated by bergamot and lemon. The latter unleash a citrus breath here, accompanied by the fruity and juicy delicacy of pear. Then, freesia opens the way for a more floral heart. This takes us directly to the Mediterranean region. Thus, Black Opium Floral Shock contains one of the most emblematic ingredients of the Mediterranean: orange blossom. This is associated with the opulence of jasmine, an iconic ingredient in women’s perfumery. The gardenia, meanwhile, counterbalances the effect of it by its bewitching clarity. This sensation continues even in its wake. Black Opium Floral Shock is packed with white musk. On the other hand, it gains in intensity thanks to the vibrant and euphoric presence of coffee.
