Black Opium Over Red is a flanker to YSL's Black Opium, built on the same dark coffee and vanilla base but topped with a juicy cherry accord and mandarin. The heart adds jasmine, black tea and orange blossom, so it reads sweeter and fruitier than the original while keeping the coffee warmth. It suits people who find the original too heavy or too plain and want a playful gourmand. Against other cherry gourmands it leans darker and more coffee-driven; against the original Black Opium it trades some of the floral-vanilla smoothness for a bright red-fruit opening.

Black Opium Over Red is an eau de parfum for women from Yves Saint Laurent. It is a fruity twist on the Black Opium signature of black coffee and vanilla, with a juicy red cherry accord. Jasmine and orange blossom add a floral note.
The glass bottle is dressed in translucent red lacquer. A blacked-out window detail sits at its center.
For a light scent, spray in a cloud around your head and shoulders. For medium intensity, spray in a Y-shape from one shoulder to the other. For a stronger scent, apply to pulse points such as the wrists, inner elbows and lower neck. Hair, scarves and the inside of jackets and coats can also be scented.
