Starting from ₹149
★★★★★ (4.6/5)
Black is a long-lasting women's perfume that blends dark energy, addictive sweetness and unapologetic glamour — inspired by Black Opium, the 2014 "rock 'n' roll" icon that made coffee sexy and became one of the best-selling women's fragrances in the world.
Juicy pear, sparkling pink pepper and orange blossom open bright and playful. A heart of black coffee, jasmine, bitter almond and licorice adds an electric, addictive edge. And a warm base of vanilla, patchouli, cashmere wood and cedar leaves a sweet, dark, seductive trail that lasts all night.
Black — for the woman who owns the night. Bold. Addictive. Unforgettable.
Black is crafted by Nikhil Singhal, Founder & Master Perfumer of World of Perfumers. Working with fragrance oils sourced from Dubai, France and Switzerland, Nikhil personally balanced its energising coffee heart against the creamy vanilla base so that every Indian woman can wear this after-dark icon from just ₹149.

🖤 The Founder & Master Perfumer — Nikhil Singhal on Black
Why Nikhil Singhal Created Black
When Nikhil Singhal set out to create Black for World of Perfumers, he was working with one of the most popular briefs in modern women's perfumery: capture the DNA of the 2014 composition that four master perfumers built around pear, coffee, jasmine and vanilla — a fragrance that became one of the world's best-selling women's scents. And make it available from ₹149.
Nikhil Singhal is the founder and master perfumer of World of Perfumers — India's finest destination for inspired luxury fragrances. Trained in Dubai and drawing on fragrance oils sourced from Dubai, France, and Switzerland, his vision with Black was clear: India's young women love sweet, bold, long-lasting fragrances — and coffee and vanilla are as familiar as filter coffee and mithai. Every woman — whether heading to a party in Mumbai, a sangeet in Delhi, a date in Bengaluru or a night out anywhere in India — deserves this after-dark icon. From just ₹149.
With Black, Nikhil faced the defining technical challenge of this composition: making coffee and vanilla feel glamorous, not like a dessert. Coffee can turn bitter or burnt; vanilla can turn sugary; together they can easily smell like a café. The genius of Black Opium is in the details — pear and pink pepper add a bright, juicy lift, white flowers keep it feminine, bitter almond and licorice add intrigue, and patchouli and woods make the base sensual and grown-up. Nikhil calibrated the coffee against the jasmine and orange blossom, kept the vanilla rich but elegant, and sourced pear, coffee, jasmine, almond, licorice, vanilla and patchouli accords of the quality a modern icon deserves.
Every bottle of Black that leaves the World of Perfumers workshop carries that intention: to give every Indian woman the energy, the confidence and the sweet, dark, addictive trail of one of the world's most loved night-time fragrances.
Black is not just an inspired fragrance. It is Nikhil Singhal's belief — made wearable — that every Indian woman deserves to own the night. That coffee, jasmine and vanilla belong to every woman in India. From ₹149.

What Does the Original Black Opium Actually Smell Like?
Black Opium is a sweet, warm gourmand-floral — coffee, vanilla and white flowers. The first spray is juicy and bright: pear, a sparkle of pink pepper and soft orange blossom. Within minutes, the signature arrives — rich black coffee wrapped in jasmine, with a hint of bitter almond and licorice. The drydown is warm and addictive: creamy vanilla, patchouli and soft woods, sweet and sensual on the skin for hours.
The overall impression: an energising shot of coffee, a sweet vanilla glow and a touch of white flowers — bold, playful, seductive and unmistakably modern.

💡 Why Black Opium Became a Modern Icon: Before Black Opium, coffee was rarely the star of a women's fragrance. Black Opium made it glamorous — wrapping an energising coffee note in white flowers, sweet vanilla and a rock 'n' roll attitude. It felt bold, young and addictive, and it changed what a "sexy" women's fragrance could smell like. More than a decade later, it is still one of the most recognised and best-loved women's scents in the world.
That bold, addictive, coffee-vanilla DNA is now available in India from ₹149 at World of Perfumers.
🔹 Black vs the Black Opium Family: Many versions of Black Opium have been released over the years — including Intense, Extreme, Over Red and Le Parfum. Black by World of Perfumers is inspired by the original 2014 Black Opium Eau de Parfum — the pear, coffee, jasmine and vanilla composition that started it all.
If you have loved Black Opium before — Black is the fragrance for you. If you have never tried it — Black is the perfect, affordable way to discover one of the most iconic women's fragrances of the decade.

It captures the same pear-pink pepper-orange blossom opening, coffee-jasmine-almond-licorice heart and vanilla-patchouli-woods base — from ₹149, compared with an MRP of up to ₹12,000 for 90ml on Sephora India. Made in India with imported fragrance oils from Dubai, France and Switzerland.
What does Black smell like?
Black opens with juicy pear, sparkling pink pepper and soft orange blossom. The heart is rich black coffee with jasmine, bitter almond and licorice. The base is sweet and warm — vanilla, patchouli, cashmere wood and cedar. Overall: sweet, warm, coffee-vanilla and seductive.
Does Black smell like coffee?
Yes — but in a glamorous way. The coffee is wrapped in jasmine, orange blossom and vanilla, so it reads as a rich, energising, sweet warmth rather than a café smell. It is the note that makes Black so addictive.

How long does Black last?
Black is made with a 30–40% perfume-oil concentration and lasts 8–12 hours on skin, with even longer presence on clothing and scarves. Apply to moisturised pulse points for best results.
