About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Black Opium Zebra Collector is the 2014 limited presentation of YSL's Oriental Vanilla, dressed in zebra-striped flacon. The opening is bright and slightly sharp: pear and pink pepper over orange blossom, giving a brief lift before the composition turns. The heart is where it earns its reputation — coffee and bitter almond threaded with jasmine and a distinct licorice note, dark and bittersweet rather than sugary. The base settles into vanilla, patchouli, cashmere wood and cedar, warm and softly woody with the vanilla dominating throughout.

For collectors, this is a packaging variant of the standard Black Opium juice, so buy it for the zebra bottle rather than a different scent profile. It suits wearers who want a sweet-but-roasted evening fragrance with noticeable projection, and it performs best in cool weather or night wear. Those sensitive to licorice or heavy vanilla should sample first; the coffee-vanilla axis is persistent and unmistakable.

中文簡介

Black Opium Zebra Collector 係 2014 年 YSL 為東方香草調換上斑馬紋瓶身嘅限量版本。前調梨、粉紅胡椒同橙花帶出短暫明亮同微辛,跟住進入核心:咖啡、苦杏仁、茉莉同甘草交織,苦甜並存,唔係一味死甜。基調落喺雲呢拿、廣藿香、喀什米爾木同雪松,暖意同木質感收尾,雲呢拿貫穿全程。

收藏角度要留意:呢支係原版 Black Opium 汁液嘅包裝變體,買嘅係斑馬瓶身而唔係另一種香氣。適合想要甜中帶烘焙感、留香明顯嘅晚間香,秋冬或夜出最啱;怕甘草或濃雲呢拿嘅人建議先試香,因為咖啡同雲呢拿嘅主軸相當持久。
