Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is a sweet, night-time oriential vanilla with a clear coffee signature layered over pear, pink pepper, and orange blossom. The heart blends coffee with jasmine, bitter almond, and licorice for a darkly seductive, warm-spiced feel. In winter, it settles into a vanilla, patchouli, cashmere wood, and cedar base that wears with medium longevity and projection.
