Black Opium Eau de Parfum

Black Opium Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent is one of the most iconic contemporary women’s fragrances of the 2010s, launched in 2014. It was crafted by master perfumers Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp, and Honorine Blanc to capture a bold, modern femininity with an addictive twist. The scent opens with a vibrant trio of pink pepper, orange blossom and pear, giving a spicy-fruity and sparkling first impression. At its heart lies its most distinctive element — rich black coffee, paired with jasmine, bitter almond and licorice for a deep, intoxicating floral-coffee blend that feels seductive and energetic. The dry-down reveals warm, creamy vanilla, balanced by patchouli, cedarwood and cashmere wood, adding sensual warmth, depth and lasting allure. Black Opium’s rich and contrasting composition makes it especially suited for evening wear, cooler seasons and nights out, where its bold, addictive trail can truly shine.
