Black Opium Le Parfum

YSL Black Opium Le Parfum is the most intense and radical interpretation of the iconic Black Opium signature, designed specifically for the vanilla lover. While the original was a shot of adrenaline, Le Parfum is a shot of pure dopamine. It opens with a familiar fruity pear note, but quickly introduces a dash of warm cinnamon and solar notes that soften the edges, creating a glow that the original lacks.

The true star of this fragrance, however, is the unprecedented "Vanilla Quartet" in the base. Four different types of vanilla are blended with the signature black coffee accord to create a scent that is incredibly smooth, creamy, and balsamic. It dials back the sharp white florals and aggressive coffee of the Eau de Parfum, replacing them with a dark, resinous, and uncompromising sweetness. It is sophisticated, sultry, and feels like wearing a black silk slip dress under a heavy leather jacket.
