Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Glitter, Sample

This sparkling scent opens with a vibrant blend of Green Mandarin, Pear, and Lemon, creating a fresh and energising introduction. The Green Mandarin offers a zesty and slightly sweet aroma, while the crispness of Pear adds a juicy, succulent touch. Lemon Essence injects a bright, tangy sharpness that lifts the senses.
As the initial citrusy burst settles, the heart unveils the delicate allure of Orange Blossom. This floral note exudes a sweet, honeyed fragrance, providing a smooth transition from the lively top notes. The Orange Blossom brings a soft, creamy floral dimension that complements the vibrant opening, intertwining with the other notes to create a luminous core.
