Limited Edition Black Opium Firework YSL
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. In addition, Black Opium Floral Shock is the work of Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp and Honorine Blanc.

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.
