Yves Saint Laurent debuted his Black Opium Floral Shock perfume for women in 2017. What scent is Black Opium Floral Shock? A sensuous, warm, and light perfumed experience will be created by the aroma, which is enhanced by a bouquet of aromatic citrus, green, and animal nature scent tones. When you examine it more closely after application, you'll see that it has a lingering character of milder fruity, fragrant, and white floral undertones that conceal an essence of natural, fresh, and cleansing emotions.
