Launched in 2014 by Yves Saint Laurent, Black Opium has a dark, intoxicating side, softly balanced by fresh notes of orange blossom and pear and enhanced by woody tones of patchouli. Both enigmatic and familiar, the scent promises without unraveling, tells without really telling, making it the perfect expression of femininity and grace. This warm concoction of gourmand aromas and sweet vanilla notes is absolutely perfect for date night, the inviting, intriguing coffee aroma lends the fragrance a relaxed, happy feel, yet the scent gives off an alluring sense of mystery.
