Fragrance family: Oriental Vanilla
Scent profile:
Top notes: Pink pepper, orange blossom, pear — a bright, spicy-floral opening that sparks immediate attention.
Heart notes: Coffee accord, jasmine sambac, bitter almond — a bold, intoxicating core where rich coffee and luminous jasmine intertwine.
Base notes: Vanilla, patchouli, cedarwood, cashmere musk — warm, creamy, and enduring, leaving a sensual, sophisticated trail.
Overview: Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent is a modern, glamorous take on the gourmand-oriental fragrance. It balances energetic, fragrant caffeine-like vibrancy with soft floral elegance and a lush, velvety base. Designed for evening wear and moments when you want to make a confident, seductive statement.
Longevity and sillage:
Longevity: Long-lasting; typically 6–10+ hours depending on skin chemistry.
Sillage: Moderate to strong; projects well in the first few hours then settles into a close, compelling drydown.
Bottle: The 3.0 oz presentation features the signature faceted black glass with a glittering, textured finish and a luminous center window revealing the perfume. The design reflects YSL’s edgy-luxe aesthetic—bold, feminine, and unmistakably modern.
How to wear:
Apply to pulse points (wrists, inside elbows, base of throat) for optimal projection and longevity.
Ideal for evening events, nights out, or cooler seasons when the gourmand-woody warmth is most expressive.
Layering tip: pair with an unscented body lotion to avoid muting the perfume or with complementary vanilla- or coffee-infused body products for added depth.
For whom: A sophisticated, confident wearer who appreciates contemporary gourmand signatures—youthful yet elegant, daring yet refined.
Size: 3.0 fl oz (90 mL)
Notes: Paraben-free status and ingredient details vary by batch and region; consult packaging for full ingredient listing and allergen information.
