A reinvented icon

In 2014, Yves Saint Laurent reinvented the provocative spirit of his cult fragrance Opium (1977) through a modern, younger and vibrant version: Black Opium. Designed for a free, daring and urban woman, this fragrance breaks the classic codes of femininity to offer a new form of seduction, more electric and assertive.

An addictive and contrasting trail

The great originality of Black Opium? Dare to place black coffee as a central note, a first in women's perfumery. Combined with vanilla, white flowers and fruity touches, this accord gives rise to an oriental-gourmet fragrance, at once intense, luminous and resolutely addictive.

One bottle, one attitude

With its black lacquered and glittery bottle, as hypnotic as it is glamorous, Black Opium seduces at first glance. Embodied by muses like Zoë Kravitz, it does not just fragrance: it asserts a style. More than a fragrance, Black Opium is a statement of attitude, an energy to wear every day or in the evening.
