About Black Opium

Created by Yves Saint Laurent in 2014, Black Opium perfume bottles an exotic oriental blend in a glittery black bottle. You'll be swept away to exotic lands with one spritz of this heady blend of florals and warm spices.

Fragrance Family:

Patchouli

Scent Type:

Patchouli

Notes:

Juicy pear, orange blossom and spicy pink pepper top off this exotic scent, followed by warm heart notes of bitter almond, soft feminine jasmine, rich coffee and licorice. Cashmere, warm vanilla, woody cedar and earthy patchouli ground out the base notes.

Suggested Use

For long-lasting fragrance that you can carry throughout the day and to minimize the need for reapplying, focus on your pulse points behind your ears, at the base of your neck and on your wrists as well as warmer areas of the body, such as behind the knees and inside the elbow. These are the best places to apply your fragrance since the scent intensifies by the warmth of your body.

Alien Perfume is out of this world!

I use this fragrance daily. I get compliments from strangers at the store as I pass by them. It's not overpowering, it's a nice scent and there is NOTHING I don't like about it!

Since I've purchased this fragrance I have been wearing it everyday! It has a uniqueness that I haven't come across until now. It's light, sensual, fruity and soft. I believe this is what Goddesses smell like.

This is my 4th time or so ordering Black Opium. I love it.

I use it daily. I have purchased Black Opium 4 different times. My daughter is who got me hooked. Would love to see the price come down for future purchases. Not sure if this company offers free or low cost samples, but would be nice it possible. I like to know what the fragrance smells like before I put a lot of money in a small bottle and end up possibly not liking it.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Timeless favorite

I've had this perfume for over 10 years — I can't even remember exactly how long. Still love it. It opens differently at every stage, and the dry-down is definitely the best part. It keeps surprising me in a good way, even after all these years.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I Love Black Opium! It's my new signature perfume!

I have to be careful with fragrance, the ingredients tend to trigger migraines. I bought Black Opium blindly, I read reviews, I was only hesitant because of the patchouli. It seems to make the perfume wonderful!

Very sexy still.

L'oreal has changed the formula, this is why this fragrance does not seem to last as long, still lasts a decent amount of time, but not as long as it did when it first came out in 2005.

Doesn't smell the same.

Buying from this site the perfume doesn't smell the same. The last 2 bottles I bought were just not the same. It's 40 dollars more for the same bottle on Muglers website. There's a reason for that. Not the real thing.

Bold and captivating

This perfume is an intriguing scent that truly lives up to its name. The initial blast of jasmine is strong and heady, but as it settles, the warm notes of wood and amber create a comforting, almost otherworldly aura. I appreciate how somewhat long-lasting it is; a few spritzes in the morning and some more well into the evening is needed for a touch-up. However, I'd caution those who prefer lighter, more subtle fragrances, as "Alien" is undeniably bold and can be overwhelming if overapplied. Overall, it's a unique and captivating scent that's perfect for those who aren't afraid to make a statement.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I love this smell! Wish it would last longer on me but I can spray a tad more and go on about my day. When I spray it around my neck it brings a smile to my face because I know I smell great! I wouldn't recommend to a friend because I'm selfish and I want this to be my signature smell.

Gorgeous

This fragrance is just beautiful. I've had a signature fragrance for years(Mon Guerlain), and didn't think anything else could top that, but this is something I can wear every day, anytime. It's soft & enticing. From the first spray to dry down, it's gorgeous. The notes blend so well together and none of them are overpowering. It lasts for hours, and even when I think the scent is gone I get a surprise whiff of it. I can't imagine being without it!

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
