250 Black Opiem

Name: 250 Black Opiem Eau de Parfum
Brand: Blossom Perfumery

Blossom Perfumery 250 Black Opiem is an Eau de Parfum. 250 Black Opiem opens with Orange Blossom, Pink Pepper, and Pear, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Blossom Perfumery's 250 Black Opiem carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

No. 250 chases YSL's Black Opium coffee-vanilla signature closely on paper, but the gourmand sweetness feels louder and flatter up front while the original's smoky, boozy depth and marathon longevity don't fully translate.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

No. 250 is built around Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium, opening with pink pepper, pear and orange blossom for a bright, juicy entrance that echoes the original's contrast between fruit and darkness. The heart delivers jasmine and a pronounced coffee accord, the defining note of Black Opium, rendered here in a slightly more one-dimensional, straightforwardly sweet way rather than the original's smoky, almost bitter edge. The base of vanilla, cedarwood and patchouli aims for the same addictive gourmand warmth, but fades sooner and projects less than the original's famously long-lasting sillage. It captures the coffee-vanilla mood well for an evening out, without the depth or endurance that makes Black Opium a signature scent for so many.
