Black Opium Perfume by Yves Saint Laurent, Black Opium is an Oriental vanilla women’s fragrance with vanilla, coffee, and sweet main accords. Launched in 2014, this scent was a collaboration between perfumers Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp, and Honorine Blanc. It is housed in a dark bottle with sequin decorations to present a glam rock look. Pear, pink pepper, and orange blossom make up the headnotes while coffee, jasmine, bitter almond, and liquorice form the heart notes. Vanilla, patchouli, cedar, and cashmere wood base notes complete this composition. Best worn during fall and winter nights, it has moderate longevity and sillage.
