Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum Spray

Yves Saint Laurent has long been associated with fashion and timeless elegance. In 2014, they released Black Opium fragrance as an intoxicating scent to further define luxury.

Black Opium stands as more than just a fragrance; it makes an audacious statement. Drawing inspiration from its iconic predecessor, Opium, which reignited perfumery during the 70s with its oriental richness, Black Opium stands as its bolder and daringer sibling; paying homage to women today who embody free-spiritedness in their lives and have no shame when expressing themselves freely and authentically.

Imagine an intimate late-night cafe in a bustling metropolis filled with the sounds of chatter, soft jazz music, and the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee - that is the atmosphere created by Black Opium with its dominant coffee note. Perfumers Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp and Honorine Blanc have expertly created such an experience by skillfully interweaving coffee notes with white florals, vanilla warmth and pink pepper to achieve a fruity-spicy combination which perfectly balances coffee's intense allure!

Black Opium unfolds its heart like sipping on a luxurious cappuccino made with foamy almond milk and fragrant with jasmine and licorice notes; there's both sweetness and bitterness present, like shadows in sunlight; symbolizing today's woman as multidimensional. Black Opium captures this duality perfectly as an embodiment of her multidimensional nature.

Black Opium offers an irresistibly sensual scent. At its center is vanilla's warm sensuality, interwoven with woody notes such as cashmere and cedar wood; patchouli adds earthy depth. Together these layers combine for an unforgettable sillage that won't soon be forgotten.

Its bottle is equally captivating: decorated with sequins for a glamorous, rock-n-roll vibe, inviting you to explore its dark yet glittering depths.

Black Opium was made popular through Edie Campbell's advocacy in its advertising campaign and appeals to women who dare to be different, who embrace both their dark side and light sides with equal passion, and who believe being mysterious is part of being beautiful. Each spray of Black Opium speaks directly to this theme by whispering "Embrace the night for this is where our brightest stars reside."
