Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent is an electrifying fragrance of modern sensuality—bold, addictive, and unapologetically feminine. Launched in 2014, this oriental vanilla scent redefines the classic YSL seduction with a daring twist. It opens with an energizing blend of juicy pear, vibrant pink pepper, and radiant orange blossom, setting the tone for a fragrance that’s both playful and provocative.
At its heart lies the signature note of rich black coffee, intensified by creamy jasmine, bitter almond, and a whisper of licorice, creating a mysterious and captivating allure. The base is warm and enveloping, with soft vanilla, patchouli, cashmere wood, and cedar that linger on the skin like a second skin. Black Opium is for the woman who lives with confidence, dares to stand out, and is never afraid of the spotlight.
