Description

Black Opium built its whole name on that coffee-and-vanilla smell, and this version keeps it. What’s different is the start — cherry and mandarin instead of the usual dark opening, so it feels fresher right away. Jasmine and orange blossom come through next. Then it settles back into the coffee and vanilla everyone already loves. YSL released this in 2024. Great if you’re a Black Opium fan who wants something a bit lighter for daytime.

Tips for Best Experience

This one pairs especially well with warmer months — the cherry and mandarin opening feels more natural in spring and summer than deep winter.
