Black Opium, officially launched in 2014, remains the definitive modern masterpiece from the house of Yves Saint Laurent. Crafted by an elite team of perfumers, this parfum black opium YSL embodies a glam-rock, rebellious, and highly addictive energy. While its dark, glittery aesthetic often leads fans to search for it as a "black perfume," its complex black opium notes reveal a sophisticated layering of sweetness and shadow that has made it a global icon.

The scent opens with an electric, zesty burst of Pear Accord, Mandarin Essence, and Pink Pepper, providing an immediate sense of uplifting luxury and sparkling solar energy. The heart introduces a unique and soothing fusion of Black Coffee Accord, Orange Blossom, and Jasmine, adding a layer of rich, aromatic sophistication that feels both airy and incredibly seductive. As it dries down, it settles into a rich, commanding base of Vanilla Absolute, Patchouli, and Cedarwood, creating a deep, velvety, and legendary trail. This YSL high-concentration Eau de Parfum is built for exceptional evening endurance, typically staying on the skin for 8 to 10 hours.
