About this fragrance
Black Opium
Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent is an eau de parfum for women that launched in 2013, built around a bold, addictive coffee-and-vanilla accord. Created by perfumers Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp and Honorine Blanc, it became one of YSL's most successful modern fragrances, combining the dark energy of rock with a warm, gourmand sweetness that has broad appeal. It suits evening wear, cooler seasons and confident wearers who gravitate toward rich, enveloping scents.
Available in both 10ml and 30ml, these sizes are ideal for trying the fragrance or keeping it close for on-the-go wear.

What to Expect
The opening arrives with a burst of pink pepper and orange blossom, bright and slightly spicy. The heart is where Black Opium makes its statement, with a deep, roasted coffee accord blended with jasmine and bitter almond for a rich, almost addictive quality. The dry down settles into patchouli, vanilla and cedarwood, warm and enveloping with excellent staying power. Longevity is strong at five to seven hours, with moderate to full projection that commands attention from the first spray.
