Black Opium Perfume by Yves Saint Laurent Launched in 2014 by Yves Saint Laurent, Black Opium has a dark and intoxicating side, softly balanced by fresh notes of orange blossom and pear and enhanced by woody notes of patchouli. Both mysterious and familiar, the scent promises without being disjointed, and tells without really saying it, making it the perfect expression of femininity and grace. This warm blend of gourmand scents and sweet vanilla notes is perfect for a date night, as the seductive and sensual coffee note gives the fragrance a comfortable and happy feel, yet the scent exudes an alluring sense of mystery.
