Which fragrance house introduced Black Opium in 2014?

Yves Saint Laurent introduced Black Opium in 2014. The fragrance was developed by perfumers Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Honorine Blanc, and Olivier Cresp.

Black Opium is an oriental or amber-style fragrance whose commonly cited notes include coffee, pear, pink pepper, orange blossom, jasmine, vanilla, cedar, and patchouli. Coffee gives the perfume a distinctive roasted facet, while vanilla contributes sweetness and warmth.

Its name can lead readers to assume that it is simply a modern version of Opium, Yves Saint Laurent’s 1977 fragrance. Black Opium is instead a separate fragrance line with its own composition, bottle design, and launch campaign. The earlier Opium is an important predecessor in the brand’s fragrance history, but the two perfumes are not the same product.
