Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent for Women 1.7 oz EDP Spray

"Black Opium" by Yves Saint Laurent Eau de Parfum is a captivating Amber Vanilla fragrance for women that combines bold black coffee, luminous white florals, and creamy vanilla with warm woody undertones. Launched in 2014 and created by perfumers Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp, and Honorine Blanc, this iconic fragrance offers a distinctive balance of gourmand sweetness, floral elegance, and modern sophistication.

The fragrance opens with the delicate spice of pink pepper and the radiant floral freshness of orange blossom, creating an inviting introduction. At its heart, rich black coffee blends with jasmine, delivering an expressive contrast between roasted warmth and elegant white florals. As the scent develops, creamy vanilla, earthy patchouli, and smooth cedarwood create a warm, sophisticated finish. Its combination of coffee intensity, delicate flowers, and comforting sweetness makes Black Opium especially appealing for romantic evenings, special celebrations, and cooler-weather occasions.

Bottle Description: Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is presented in a distinctive rounded-square black glass bottle with sparkling glitter-inspired detailing. Its iconic circular pink center, signature Black Opium branding, and sleek black cap create a glamorous contrast that reflects the fragrance's modern character. This 1.7 oz (50ml) Eau de Parfum Spray offers a convenient size for everyday wear and special occasions.
