Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Nuit Blanche is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Olivier Cresp. Black Opium Nuit Blanche opens with Basmati Rice, Anise, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Peony, Coriander, and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Milk, Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium Nuit Blanche carries a Favourite verdict, a lactonic-led wear.

A creamy, milky dream that many rate as the best Black Opium flanker. It’s a crying shame it was discontinued, as the hype is real for this addictive sweet treat.

About

Black Opium Nuit Blanche is a luxuriously smooth and lactonic take on the original, opening with spicy pepper and distinctive basmati rice, smoothed out by a gentle anise. The heart introduces a soft coffee alongside a subtle peony and orange blossom, warmed by coriander. The base is an indulgent caramel latte: creamy milk, rich caramel, sandalwood, and vanilla, all underpinned by a clean musk.
