No.030 Black Opium EDP
Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Black Opium EDP
A powerhouse modern gourmand - Black Opium is an unapologetically bold, sweet, and sultry signature. The coffee-vanilla core is addictive, making it a go-to for nights out or whenever you want to command attention.

Our Verdict - No.030 Black Opium EDP
A recognisable take on YSL Black Opium's coffee-vanilla signature - the pink pepper opening and roasted coffee heart land close to the original, though the base is simpler and the addictive, boozy depth of the original doesn't fully carry through.

Season and Occasion Fit
Black Opium
Seasons
Best For:
Autumn
Winter
Also Works:
Spring
The deep sweetness, warm spicy notes, and rich coffee-vanilla core make this ideal for colder weather, especially fall and winter. Its heaviness can feel cloying in heat but works nicely in spring evenings.
Occasions
Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual
Formal
The bold, sweet, and sensual profile is best for dates and nights out, while formal settings suit its opulence. It's too attention-grabbing for the office and not appropriate for sporty or active scenarios.
