Description

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium EDP is a bold, coffee-driven gourmand fragrance that opens with a jolt of espresso and pink pepper before softening into a heart of jasmine and orange blossom. As it dries down, a rich base of vanilla, patchouli, and cashmere wood wraps the skin in something warm, sweet, and undeniably seductive. It is an addictive scent that straddles the line between edgy and feminine.

  • Notes of coffee, jasmine, vanilla, and patchouli
  • Lasts 6-8 hours with strong projection
  • Perfect for evenings, nights out, and cooler months
  • A modern classic from Yves Saint Laurent, launched in 2014

Black Opium suits anyone drawn to intense, gourmand-style fragrances that make a lasting impression on every room they enter.
