The Scent Notes of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Over Red

What does YSL Black Opium Over Red perfume smell like?
The opening top notes in this fragrance includes citrus green mandarin and a fruity cherry accord. The cherry note is a sweet, tangy-tart scent with an almond-like nuance. Cherry essential oil cannot be extracted from the fruit, so the synthetic perfume accord is often created with benzaldehyde for a musky almond scent.

The heart is a white floral with a sweet intense jasmine from Morocco and bittersweet orange blossom absolute blended with black tea accord - an earthy herbaceous aroma.

Black Opium Over Red's perfume base is created from patchouli leaves - a distinct earthy and woody scent, blended with gourmand notes of roasted coffee beans and creamy vanilla.
