About This Fragrance
Black Opium is a 2014 eau de parfum from Yves Saint Laurent. It reimagines the daring nocturnal energy associated with the Opium name through a modern gourmand structure built around coffee, white flowers, and vanilla.
Scent Profile
The fragrance opens with pear, pink pepper, and orange blossom, giving a brighter and more sparkling start than the black bottle may suggest. The heart brings coffee, jasmine, bitter almond, and licorice, while vanilla, patchouli, cashmere wood, and cedarwood create a warm sweet drydown.
Who It's For
It suits people who enjoy vanilla, coffee, white florals, sweet gourmand scents, black clothing, and evening wear. It is especially at home in autumn and winter nights, bars, dinners, live events, and moments when the wearer wants a stronger, more dressed-up mood.
