Notes:
YSL Black Opium Extreme cologne begins with a dramatic combination of coffee and cacao bean, blending these notes' bitter earthiness and spice. The heart of the fragrance contains powdery yet strong floral notes of jasmine sambac and orange blossom. An amber base of patchouli, vanilla and bourbon gives Black Opium Extreme excellent warmth and staying power. Overall, this scent is an intoxicating and bold gourmand that leans more sophisticated than sweet.
Suggested Use
For long-lasting men's fragrance that you can carry throughout the day and to minimize the need for reapplying, focus on your pulse points behind your ears, at the base of your neck and on your wrists as well as warmer areas of the body, such as behind the knees and inside the elbow. These are the best places to apply your fragrance since the scent intensifies by the warmth of your body.
