Black Opium Extreme
Floral Gourmand
Black Opium Extreme is the original's addiction taken further — a fragrance that opens with pink pepper and orange blossom in a rush that is slightly darker and more insistent than the original. The intensity is immediate; this version does not ease you in.
Coffee and jasmine return at the heart with greater depth, the coffee note roasted to something almost smoky, the jasmine more opulent and less playful. The contrast between these two notes is the defining tension of the Extreme experience — and it is utterly compelling.
Patchouli and vanilla create a base that is dense, warm, and persistently present — a dry-down that announces itself in every room. Black Opium Extreme is for evenings when subtlety is not on the agenda and making an impression is the entire point.
