Summary
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum is a sweet gourmand built around coffee, white florals, and vanilla.

About the Brand
About the Brand
Yves Saint Laurent Beauty translates the fashion house’s contrast-driven couture identity into fragrance, pairing polished modern presentation with compositions that move between florals, citrus, aromatics, woods, amber, vanilla, leather, spice, and gourmand materials. Current fragrance families include Libre, MYSLF, Y, Black Opium, and the haute-parfumerie Le Vestiaire des Parfums collection. Across the range, familiar materials are pushed through distinctly YSL contrasts: lavender against orange blossom, bright citrus against dark woods, or vanilla against smoke, leather, and spice. The result is a fragrance wardrobe that reflects the house’s longstanding themes of confidence, sensuality, sharp tailoring, and expressive personal style.
