Creation of YSL Black Opium Perfume

Midnight Shot : Our Creation of Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent is a captivating Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women, launched in 2014. Crafted by perfumers Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp, and Honorine Blanc, this scent opens with a vibrant burst of juicy pear, sparkling pink pepper, and the soft sweetness of orange blossom. The heart reveals an addictive blend of rich coffee and elegant jasmine, deepened by bitter almond and a hint of licorice. As it settles, a warm base of creamy vanilla, earthy patchouli, smooth cashmere wood, and cedar leaves a sensual and lingering trail — bold, seductive, and unapologetically modern.
