Black Opium

Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent is a legendary, dark Amber Vanilla Eau de Parfum launched in 2014 designed for the modern woman who is dynamic, mysterious, and effortlessly captivating. Crafted by an elite team of master perfumers—Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp, and Honorine Blanc—this iconic fragrance is a highly addictive, glam-rock that revolutionized modern feminine perfumery by introducing a heavy, addictive hit of black coffee into a luxurious, rock-chic floral landscape.

Black Opium is an expression of dark sensuality, thrilling energy, and high-fashion allure. It is for the individual who decides to be experienced as magnetic, bold, and completely unforgettable.

The fragrance opens with an immediate, energizing burst of juicy pear, pink pepper, and bright orange blossom. This sparkling introduction quickly gives way to the star of the show: a deep, intoxicating heart of rich, roasted black coffee blended with elegant jasmine. As it settles onto the skin, Black Opium reveals its true, legendary baseline—a warm, comforting bed of premium vanilla, earthy patchouli, and smooth cedarwood. It leaves a dense, sweet, and mesmerizing trail that commands attention all through the night.
