Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Le Parfum 90ml Spray is the most concentrated, dressed-up expression of the iconic Black Opium line. The composition extends the original DNA into a deeper, more intense gourmand register: a quartet of vanillas (Madagascar, Bourbon, Vanilla Absolute and Vanilla Orchid) at the base, alongside coffee and patchouli, with the line's signature white-floral heart at the centre. The result is a long-wear, addictive evening signature.

The story behind Le Parfum
Le Parfum reinterprets Black Opium in its most intense form — a "high rush" of four faceted vanillas that sublime the iconic coffee-vanilla signature into a more concentrated, sensual interpretation. The depth, sillage and longevity all increase relative to the original eau de parfum, making it ideal for evening and dressed-up occasions.
Who it's for
Suited to wearers who already love Black Opium and want a more concentrated, dressed-up version — fans of Mugler Angel, Lancôme La Vie Est Belle or Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir will find Le Parfum a familiar match. Best in autumn and winter; ideal for evening, dinner and special-occasion wear.
How to wear it
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, base of the throat, behind the ears — from around 15cm.
- One to two sprays may be enough thanks to the high concentration; build up gently for evening wear.
- Apply over an unscented body lotion to extend longevity on skin.
