Black Opium Neon is YSL's 2019 update to the bestselling Black Opium line, offering a brighter, more energetic take on the original's dark appeal. As an EDP, it delivers solid performance while maintaining the house's signature approach to sensual fragrances.

The composition opens with citrus brightness, combining citron, mandarin orange, and pitahaya for a fresh, fruity burst. The heart shifts into gourmand territory with coffee and jasmine sambac, where sweet white florals and orange blossom add creamy, luminous notes. The base settles into a warm, soft finish of musk and vanilla that grounds the sweeter elements without turning heavy. The overall DNA leans floral oriental with distinct gourmand influences, creating something that reads both indulgent and wearable.

This works best for someone who enjoys sweet fragrances with character but wants something less intense than the original Black Opium. The citrus opening and coffee-jasmine heart make it suitable year-round, though the gourmand sweetness feels particularly good in cooler months. It aligns with The Romantic, The Heirloom, and The Hedonist sensibilities.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Citron
Citron
One of the oldest cultivated citrus fruits with a thick, intensely aromatic rind and a complex, slightly bitter, deeply floral-citrus character. Citron is more herbal and woody than lemon, with a gravity that makes it useful in both opening and heart notes. A hallmark of Jewish ceremonial culture repurposed into fine fragrance.
Mandarin Orange
Mandarin Orange
Pitahaya
Pitahaya
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Coffee
Coffee
Bitter, roasty, and slightly smoky with a warm, stimulating energy, coffee in perfumery reads as sophisticated rather than caffeinated. It adds depth to oriental and woody fragrances, and its slight bitterness stops adjacent sweet notes from becoming cloying. A note that perfumers love for its ability to make everything smell more complex.
Jasmine Sambac
Jasmine Sambac
The smaller-flowered Asian variety of jasmine used to scent traditional jasmine tea, with a sweeter, more honeyed, and slightly fruity character compared to Jasminum grandiflorum. Jasmine sambac has a lighter, more transparent quality with a tea-like freshness alongside its floral richness. It is the defining jasmine of South and Southeast Asian perfumery.
Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom
Sweeter and more honeyed than neroli (both come from the same tree), orange blossom is a floral note with a warm, almost edible quality. It floats between citrus and floral families, adding richness without weight. A signature note of classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern perfumery.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
