A technical breakdown of the molecular evolution — how each note interacts with heat, fabric, and skin over time.
Inspired by Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Over Red
Black Opium Over Red
Extrait de Parfum · 100ml · 30% Concentration · Sydney, Australia
If you already wear Black Opium, this is the one for nights out rather than the office. Fruit and almond sit over the familiar sweet base, which makes it brighter and easier to wear in warm weather without losing any of the character that made the original sell the way it did.
Green pear and mandarin open juicy, with bitter almond adding a marzipan edge that keeps it from being simply sweet. Jasmine, violet and lily of the valley soften the middle into something powdery and floral. Vanilla, candyfloss and a pear-skin musk finish it warm, close and unmistakably gourmand.

Performance
Formulated at 30% concentration, Extrait de Parfum, the highest category in fine fragrance. Expect 10 to 16 hours of wear with a rich, evolving sillage that opens boldly and settles into a deeply personal skin scent over time. One or two sprays is all that is required.
How to Apply
Apply to pulse points, the inner wrists, base of the neck, and behind the ears. Do not rub. Allow the fragrance to dry naturally and interact with your skin's warmth. For best performance, apply to freshly moisturised skin or over an unscented body lotion. Dry skin absorbs fragrance faster. Oily skin holds it longer. At 30% concentration, one or two sprays is enough.
Care and Storage
Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. UV exposure and temperature fluctuation degrade aromachemicals over time. A drawer, cabinet, or wardrobe shelf is ideal. Avoid bathrooms. Kept correctly, your fragrance will perform at full strength for 3 to 5 years.
Formulation
Every formula is built from individual aromachemicals using GCMS reconstruction, the same methodology used by the world's leading fragrance houses. We source exclusively from IFF, Givaudan, and Firmenich, the same suppliers used by Dior, Chanel, and Tom Ford. Never a pre-made type oil. Never a shortcut.
