Experience YSL Black Opium, the rock couture fragrance for women by Yves Saint Laurent. Captivating, unparalleled in provocation, deliberatively seductive. Starring YSL Beauty global make-up and fragrance ambassador Zoë Kravitz.

INSPIRATION
In 1977 Yves Saint Laurent introduces Opium: a boundary-pushing perfume. A revolution in a bottle. A new idea of femininity: sultry, provocative, enthralling. Fast forward to 2014, and Opium's legacy continues to dazzle: Yves Saint Laurent Beauty unveils Black Opium, re-inventing desire in a new, contemporary light, reshaped for the modern woman. The Black Opium woman is embodied by YSL Beauty muse Zoë Kravitz.

Black Opium Illicit Green takes inspiration from the sensorial world of mixology, reinventing the ever-iconic Black Opium with an energising and refreshing twist.

SCENT
Black Opium Illicit Green Eau de Parfum is a bold and unique collaboration between Black Opium Master Perfumer Nathalie Lorson, and award-winning Parisian mixologist Margot Lecarpentier. Together, they twisted Black Opium's original captivating floral gourmand scent with juicy green mandarin and creamy fig accord, making for a vibrant mocktail-inspired fragrance that invigorates all the senses. Energisingly fresh, just as captivating, and always with the unique YSL edge.

A dark, roasted coffee base, with warm balsamic notes from vanilla bourbon, is contrasted with the fruity and tangy qualities of green mandarin. Add in the green floral facets of jasmine and the sweetness of fig, and this electrifying combination of ingredients makes for a scent that is at once zesty, sparkling, creamy and sensual, and challenges gender stereotypes in fragrances.

- Top notes: pear accord, green mandarin superessence, fig leaf accord
- Heart notes: orange blossom absolute, jasmine grandiflorum superinfusion, fig
- Base notes: coffee accord, vanilla bourbon superinfusion, patchouli essence, cedar essence

BOTTLE
A bottle as on-trend and enthralling as the scent itself. The neon green centre brings a modern edge to the signature Black Opium glitter-encrusted bottle.
