Black Opium is YSL's gourmand coffee-floral scent: a dark roast coffee accord over vanilla, with jasmine and orange blossom on top and a warm patchouli-cedar base. It is sweet, warm and loud enough to be noticed, and it has become one of the most recognized women's fragrances of its era. Reviewers often call it a cold-weather and evening scent rather than a daytime one. Against rivals like Lancôme La Vie Est Belle or Mugler Angel, it leans more coffee than sugar, though it is still firmly in the sweet gourmand camp.
