More about Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Le Parfum
Black Opium Le Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent is a 2022 women's fragrance, Black Opium transformed into its richest, most seductive form and meant to be lived after dark. The top notes are cinnamon, green mandarin and pear. The heart turns to creamy white flowers: jasmine sambac, orange blossom and solar notes. The base notes bring the dark intensity of coffee, draped in a deep layer of vanilla, from Bourbon and Madagascar vanilla to vanilla absolute and vanilla orchid, with patchouli beneath. It is daring yet polished and carries the magnetic confidence of nightfall. Wearing it feels like stepping onto a rooftop terrace high above the city, where the skyline glitters and every breath hums with possibility. Winter and fall are the favorite seasons, with night and evening as the hours it suits. Pick Black Opium Le Parfum if you want a rich coffee and vanilla scent for cold-weather nights out from Yves Saint Laurent.
