Inspiration: Yves Saint Laurent - Black Opium
Couldn't load pickup availability
Opal Noir by Vurv follows the Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent idea through pear, orange blossom, coffee, jasmine and vanilla. Bitter almond and licorice make the heart nuttier and darker, with cashmere wood softening the base. The familiar coffee-vanilla mood is easy to recognize, but Opal Noir wears with more almond and wood around the edges.
Top: pear, orange blossom, pink pepper
Middle: jasmine, coffee, bitter almond, licorice
Base: patchouli, vanilla, cedarwood, cashmerewood
Pear and orange blossom feel bright at first until pink pepper adds a small spark and coffee darkens the center. Jasmine, bitter almond and licorice make the sweetness feel richer before vanilla, patchouli and cashmere wood settle like a warm café scent on fabric.
Opal Noir begins with a sweet fruity-floral push, then coffee and bitter almond deepen the center while the trail gradually softens. Vanilla, patchouli and woods keep the fragrance present through an evening, giving the coffee-almond drydown a warm, steady finish.
Fall and winter evenings fit Opal Noir naturally for date nights, dinners, parties and late coffee stops. It leans feminine through pear, jasmine and vanilla, though the coffee, licorice and patchouli add enough darkness for anyone who likes the style.
