Description

Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent has long been a pioneer of daring, transgressive luxury that blends Parisian chic with a rock-and-roll spirit. Building on the scandalous legacy of the original 1977 Opium, the house launched Black Opium Le Parfum in 2022 as the most intense and velvet-smooth interpretation of its modern icon.

What does Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Le Parfum smell like?

This Le Parfum represents the ultimate concentration of the Black Opium signature, offering an unparalleled depth and longevity. It is a masterful Amber Vanilla composition that pivots away from bright highlights toward a darker, more nocturnal gourmand sophistication.

  • Top Notes: The journey begins with a crisp, succulent Pear accord and the zesty vibration of Green Mandarin, seasoned with a warm, aromatic touch of Cinnamon that hints at the richness to come.
  • Middle Notes: At its heart, a radiant bouquet of Jasmine Sambac and Orange Blossom provides a luminous, solar contrast to the fragrance’s deeper tones, blooming with a creamy and intoxicating floral elegance.
  • Base Notes: The dry down is a radical obsession of four distinct, premium Vanillas that envelop the signature black Coffee accord. This quartet of sweetness is grounded by the earthy depth of Patchouli, creating a trail that is dark, bold, and irresistibly hypnotic.
