Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Make It Yours Fragrance Jacket Collection is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp, and Honorine Blanc. Black Opium Make It Yours Fragrance Jacket Collection opens with Orange Blossom, Pink Pepper, and Pear, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Coffee, Licorice, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Cedar, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium Make It Yours Fragrance Jacket Collection carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This isn't a perfume, it's a marketing gimmick. Yves Saint Laurent's attempt at making Black Opium a 'collectible' with customisable jackets misses the point of fragrance entirely, adding nothing to the scent itself. Skip the superficial faff and stick to the original, if you must.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Built on woody, sweet and white floral - a composition that sits best in spring, autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its sweet and bold character, along with a strong sillage, makes it less ideal for a formal office setting. However, the sensual and warm accords are excellent for dates and evening events, adding a sophisticated edge to formal wear.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a rich, almost syrupy sweetness of orange blossom and juicy pear, spiced up with a hint of pink pepper. This blooms into a heart of heady jasmine, nutty almond, and a dominant, dark coffee note, all smoothed over with a touch of mysterious licorice. The base settles into a warm, inviting blend of creamy vanilla, earthy patchouli, and soft, enveloping cashmere wood with a dry cedar undertone. It's an oriental vanilla with serious sillage.
