🍒 YSL Black Opium Over Red Eau de Parfum

This is an Amber Vanilla fragrance that leans heavily into the Fruity Gourmand category. It maintains the famous signature of creamy coffee and vanilla, but introduces a deep, syrupy dark cherry note that gives it an intoxicating, almost boozy complexity.

The Scent: A Breakdown (The Dark Cherry Twist)

The core DNA is instantly recognizable, but the addition of the cherry completely alters the top and heart.

Key Features (The "Why")

• The Black Cherry Star: This is the defining factor. The cherry note replaces the lighter fruit notes found in other flankers, giving Over Red a vampy, sensual, and intoxicatingly syrupy quality.

• A True Gourmand: This version pushes the line further into the edible territory. It smells like a rich coffee dessert served with boozy cherry compote.

• The Vibe: Dark, sexy, bold, and seductive. It's perfectly suited for evening wear, dates, and cold weather. It's designed for maximum attention and allure.

• Performance: Consistent with the line—it has strong sillage (projection) for the first few hours and excellent longevity, holding onto that sweet, warm coffee-vanilla base for 6+ hours.

The Bottom Line

If you are already a fan of the Black Opium coffee and vanilla signature, and you wish it had a deeper, darker, and fruitier twist, Over Red is exactly that. It's the most decadent and liqueur-like version of the popular DNA.
