Opium Noir – Inspired by YSL Black Opium

Opium Noir opens with pink pepper and orange blossom, then moves into a signature coffee-jasmine heart before settling into vanilla, patchouli and cedarwood. It’s a vanilla, coffee fragrance with real gourmand warmth rather than a light floral, built for wearers who want something rich and a little addictive. Suits anyone drawn to sweet, dark scents for evening wear.

How Opium Noir smells

Opening: A juicy pear accord opens the fragrance with a fruity brightness.
Heart: Orange-flower petals and jasmine sambac bring a white floral character, warmed by cinnamon spice.
Drydown: Vanilla and black coffee dominate the base, joined by a woody patchouli facet and a soft balsamic sweetness.

Opium Noir wears dark and sweet rather than fresh or light, with the coffee note giving it a distinctive, slightly smoky edge over straightforward vanilla warmth. It has real richness and presence, sitting closer to a gourmand-oriental character than a simple sweet floral.

When to wear it
This one is particularly suited to evenings, colder months and occasions calling for a bolder, more noticeable scent, nights out, dinners or dates. It’s less suited to subtle office wear, working best when you want a fragrance with genuine staying power in a room.
