About

Black Opium Le Parfum envelops the senses in a heady swirl of creamy Madagascar and Bourbon vanillas, fused with the signature coffee hit that defines the line. Cinnamon laces the opening with warmth, while juicy green mandarin and pear flicker briefly before melting into a lush, narcotic heart of white florals. The base is pure indulgence: a velvet blanket of vanilla, powder, and espresso, underscored by earthy patchouli. The result is addictive, opulent, and intensely comforting-made for after-dark adventures and endless winter nights.
