About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Black Opium Eau de Toilette (2018) by Yves Saint Laurent is a lighter, more luminous interpretation of the original 2014 Eau de Parfum, though it retains the same Oriental Vanilla family. The top notes sparkle with pear, pink pepper, and orange blossom, leading into a heart of coffee, jasmine, bitter almond, and licorice. The base of vanilla, patchouli, cashmere wood, and cedar provides a warm, softly woody foundation. This EDT is ideal for those who find the EDP too intense but still crave the signature coffee-vanilla accord. It suits women seeking a versatile scent for daytime or warmer weather, offering moderate longevity and sillage. Collectors will appreciate its place in the Black Opium lineage as a fresher, more approachable variant.
