{"product_id":"black-opium-edp","title":"Black Opium EDP","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack Opium Eau de Parfum is the \u003cstrong\u003e2014 Yves Saint Laurent release\u003c\/strong\u003e that turned coffee into a mainstream women's fragrance note and became one of the most worn designer perfumes of the past decade. Composed by Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp, and Honorine Blanc as an \u003cstrong\u003eEau de Parfum\u003c\/strong\u003e, the composition pairs roasted coffee with sweet vanilla and white florals in a way that defined the gourmand-coffee category for an entire generation. Aromatica carries the YSL Black Opium EDP decant in Bangladesh, so the cleanest way to test whether this signature works for you is to wear it before paying full bottle price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFragrance Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pear, Pink Pepper, Orange Blossom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coffee, Jasmine, Bitter Almond, Licorice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla, Patchouli, Cashmere Wood, Cedar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Scent\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening is fruity and slightly spicy from the first spray. \u003cstrong\u003ePear leads with a juicy sweetness\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by pink pepper for a touch of sparkle and orange blossom for floral softness. The fruit-and-florals opening lasts only briefly before the heart pushes through. The coffee accord is what made this fragrance famous and remains its defining character. The heart develops into a coffee-and-vanilla pairing that reads more like espresso with cream than freshly roasted beans, smoothed by jasmine and given depth by bitter almond and licorice. The almond-licorice combination adds an unusual savory edge that prevents the composition from going pure dessert. By the dry-down, vanilla, patchouli, cashmere wood, and cedar take over for a warm gourmand-vanilla finish that defines the long wear. \u003cstrong\u003eThe coffee remains audible throughout\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the dry-down its signature edge and distinguishing it from generic vanilla designers in the same price tier. Community reception has been consistent across the decade since launch, with the fragrance maintaining strong commercial success despite the rise of newer cherry-vanilla and pistachio-vanilla flankers in the same category. Performance is reliably strong, with six to eight hours of solid wear typical on most skin types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest in \u003cstrong\u003efall and winter\u003c\/strong\u003e, especially evenings, date nights, dinners, and any occasion where a confident coffee-vanilla signature fits the setting.

It fits inside the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aromatica.one\/collections\/family-gourmand-sweet\"\u003eGourmand and Sweet collection\u003c\/a\u003e alongside other dessert-heavy and coffee-leaning compositions worth keeping in rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is It For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor someone building a women's wardrobe around iconic designer signatures rather than the latest niche release, or for anyone who has worn Black Opium before and wants to reconnect with a familiar scent without paying full retail. It also suits wearers who appreciate gourmand fragrances and want a coffee-vanilla composition that became the reference point against which most newer dessert-leaning designers are compared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor YSL house alternatives at Aromatica, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aromatica.one\/products\/libre-eau-de-parfum\"\u003eLibre Eau de Parfum\u003c\/a\u003e covers the brighter, lavender-orange-blossom-vanilla territory that contrasts with Black Opium's coffee direction. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aromatica.one\/products\/libre-intense\"\u003eLibre Intense\u003c\/a\u003e is the warmer, sweeter sister within the broader YSL women's range and works as an evening alternative to Black Opium for wearers wanting variety in their gourmand-leaning collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStocked at Aromatica as an authentic decant in 3ml, 5ml, 9ml, and 15ml sizes, with same-day dispatch on in-stock sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yves Saint Laurent","offers":[{"title":"3ML Decant (45+ sprays)","offer_id":53310840504685,"sku":"YVES-SAINT-LAURENT-BLACK-OPIUM-EDP-53310840504685-3ML","price":751.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"5ML Decant (75+ sprays)","offer_id":53310840537453,"sku":"YVES-SAINT-LAURENT-BLACK-OPIUM-EDP-53310840537453-5ML","price":1214.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"9ML Decant (135+ sprays)","offer_id":53310840570221,"sku":"YVES-SAINT-LAURENT-BLACK-OPIUM-EDP-53310840570221-9ML","price":2129.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"15ML Decant (225+ sprays)","offer_id":53310840602989,"sku":"YVES-SAINT-LAURENT-BLACK-OPIUM-EDP-53310840602989-15ML","price":3275.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/5900\/1197\/files\/YSL-Black-Opium-EDP.png?v=1778522247","url":"https:\/\/aromatica.one\/products\/black-opium-edp","provider":"AROMATICA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
