BLACK OPIUM —
Extrait 46%
BLACK OPIUM 46% is a high-concentration interpretation of the
iconic coffee–floral fragrance, built on a tense contrast between dark
bitterness and warm sweetness. The composition sounds rich and stable,
maintaining a clear structure and controlled development.
At a 46% Extrait
concentration, the fragrance reaches an extreme level of density. After ageing,
the development becomes slower and more even, allowing the key accords to
emerge sequentially, without sharp spikes or overload.
The opening is driven
by an intense coffee note with a pronounced bitterness, creating a directed and
confident start. As the fragrance develops, white floral accents appear,
softening the composition and bringing balance without diminishing its depth.
The base is built around warm vanilla, anchoring the fragrance and giving it
lasting presence and stability.
At such a high concentration, the fragrance does not seek excessive showiness. It unfolds in a composed and stable manner, leaving a rich, dark, and confident trail.What Makes Extrait 46% Exceptional?
A 46% concentration
goes beyond the limits of a classic extrait. Here, not only the amount of
aromatic material but also the ageing process becomes decisive, allowing the
composition to maintain balance between intensity and structure.
