Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent — 90ml Eau de Parfum
Black Opium is an addictive coffee-vanilla gourmand Eau de Parfum from Yves Saint Laurent — one of the most popular women’s fragrances of the last decade. Launched in 2014, it plays on the tension between bold black coffee and sweet vanilla, lifted by pink pepper, pear and a heart of white flowers. Sensual, modern and long-lasting, it’s a seductive night-out signature and a modern classic.
What does Black Opium smell like?
The opening is bright and slightly spicy — pink pepper and juicy pear meet a soft orange blossom, giving a sparkling, sweet-fresh start.
At its heart lies the signature accord: rich, dark black coffee twisted with luminous jasmine and white flowers, creating the addictive coffee-floral contrast the fragrance is famous for.
The dry-down is warm and cosy — sweet vanilla wrapped in patchouli and cedar, leaving a sensual, gourmand trail that lingers close to the skin.
What are the fragrance notes in Black Opium?
Black Opium moves from a sparkling spicy-fruity top, through a coffee-and-white-flower heart, into a sweet vanilla base.

How long does Black Opium last?
Black Opium offers solid, dependable performance — most wearers report around seven hours or more on skin, with the vanilla, patchouli and cedar base lasting longest, and longer again on clothing. Projection is good, creating a warm, sweet trail in the opening hours before settling into a cosy, close finish.
Sprayed onto clothing, Black Opium will linger noticeably longer than on skin alone.
When should you wear Black Opium?
The sweet, warm, coffee-vanilla character makes Black Opium a natural evening and night-out fragrance, and it’s especially lovely in cooler weather — so it suits the Australian autumn and winter well, while remaining wearable year-round with a lighter application.
It’s a favourite for date nights, parties and occasions where you want a sensual, memorable scent, and its versatility makes it easy for everyday too.
Who is Black Opium for?
This is a fragrance for women who love sweet, sensual, gourmand scents with an edge. If you enjoy coffee, vanilla and warm florals rather than fresh or light compositions, Black Opium will feel right at home.
It’s an easy, crowd-pleasing modern classic — a strong choice as a signature scent, and a popular gift.
How should you apply Black Opium?
Use two to three sprays on pulse points — wrists, base of the neck, and behind the ears. Avoid rubbing your wrists together, as it can dull the sparkling opening. Spraying some onto clothing helps it last longer.
Store the bottle away from direct sunlight and heat to protect the composition over time.

Frequently asked questions
Is Black Opium good for evenings and everyday wear?
Yes — its sweet, warm, coffee-vanilla profile makes it a favourite for evenings, date nights and parties, and it’s especially lovely in cooler weather. It’s versatile enough for everyday too, with a lighter application in warmer months.
What does Black Opium actually smell like?
A sparkling pink-pepper, pear and orange-blossom opening, a signature heart of bold black coffee and jasmine, and a sweet base of vanilla, patchouli and cedar. In short: an addictive coffee-and-vanilla gourmand with a floral heart — sweet and sensual with an edge.
How is the Eau de Parfum different from Black Opium Le Parfum?
This is the original Eau de Parfum (2014) — the classic coffee-vanilla-floral. Black Opium Le Parfum (2022) is a richer, warmer version built on a “quartet of vanillas” for more depth. There are also flankers like Neon, Extreme and Over Red. The EDP is the iconic version that started it all.
How long does Black Opium last, and how many sprays?
It’s a dependable performer — most wearers report around seven hours or more on skin, longer on clothing. Two to three sprays suits most occasions; spraying some onto clothes helps it last through the night.
Does nisbah ship Black Opium across Australia?
Yes. We ship nationwide via Australia Post, including to metropolitan and regional addresses.
