Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women. Black Opium was launched in 2014. Black Opium was created by Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp and Honorine Blanc. Top notes are Pear, Pink Pepper and Orange Blossom; middle notes are Coffee, Jasmine, Bitter Almond and Licorice; base notes are Vanilla, Patchouli, Cashmere Wood and Cedar. In September of 2014 Yves Saint Laurent launches Black Opium, the new fragrance announced as a rock'n'roll interpretation of the classic that should highlight the dark, mysterious side of the YSL brand. Master perfumers Nathalie Lorson and Marie Salamagne, in collaboration with Olivier Cresp and Honorine Blanc, developed the composition. Notes of coffee, present in large quantities, dominate the scent. Additional accords are pink pepper, orange blossom, jasmine, vanilla, patchouli and cedar. The perfume comes in the bottle designed as the last editions of the Opium collection. The bottle is dark and decorated with sequins that give a glam rock look. The face of the perfume's campaign is British model Edie Campbell, shot by Daniel Wolfe. Black Opium is available as 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

The Inspiration
A fragrance is more than a list of notes. It is the atmosphere, memory, and feeling that remains long after the first spray.
"This is my signature scent for every room I walk into."
