Black Opium Le Parfum, released by Yves Saint Laurent in 2022 as a parfum and composed by Olivier Cresp, Nathalie Lorson, Honorine Blanc and Marie Salamagne, is presented as feminine and is mainly gourmand, with smaller floral, spicy, woody and citrus touches.
The top notes are bright and spiced: green mandarin gives a tart citrus lift, pear a juicy sweetness and cinnamon a warm spice. In the heart, orange blossom brings a honeyed floral note, jasmine sambac a warm, slightly fruity sweetness and solar notes a sunny glow. The base is where vanilla dominates: Bourbon vanilla, Madagascar vanilla, vanilla absolute and vanilla orchid layer into a deep, creamy sweetness, with coffee adding a roasted bitterness and patchouli an earthy depth.
Most wearers report moderate to long-lasting wear, and most describe its sillage as moderate, with some finding it strong. It is voted mainly for winter and autumn, and more often as a night scent. It suits evenings, dates and cold weather, for someone who loves rich vanilla with coffee in a dense parfum form.
