Black Opium Nuit Blanche

Black Opium Nuit Blanche, a Soft Sweet Coffee

Nuit Blanche was the dreamy, creamy chapter of the Black Opium line. Our version keeps that gentle character, opening with pink pepper and anise before easing into coffee and orange blossom over a soft base of vanilla, caramel, and white musk.

The Story Behind the Scent

YSL built Black Opium Nuit Blanche as a softer, sleepier take on the original, inspired by the idea of a sleepless white night. It traded some of the coffee’s edge for milky, sweet warmth.

That gentleness made it a favourite for those who found the original too sharp. It is cosy, creamy, and comforting, more nightcap than espresso. Since it was discontinued, fans have hunted for it. Our interpretation keeps that soft, sweet character alive.
