"Black Opium" by Yves Saint Laurent Eau de Parfum is the addictive coffee-vanilla icon brightened by luminous white florals—modern, sensual, and effortlessly night-ready.

A sparkling start of pink pepper, orange blossom, and pear leads to a signature heart of coffee with jasmine, finishing in a creamy, woody base of vanilla, patchouli, and cedarwood. Wear it from dinner to late night when you want an alluring, polished trail.

Bottle Description: The black lacquer bottle flecked with glitter reveals a glowing center disc—“a circle within a square”—striking and instantly recognizable.

At Perfumes LA, we recommend it for evenings out, special occasions, and cooler seasons.
