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. For those seeking a luxurious, captivating fragrance that takes the signature of Black Opium to a new level of indulgence, YSL Beauty introduces Black Opium Le Parfum. SCENT Le Parfum takes Black Opium’s original floral gourmand scent and shines a spotlight on vanilla, it’s most precious facet. The iconic coffee accord has been twisted with an exceptional blend of four vanilla notes, each different yet complimentary. Ranging from the most delectable aromas to sensual woody notes, the diverse quartet of vanilla ingredients combines to create an unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity. Bound to an exhilarating dark-coffee accord, and bright white florals, this new take on the classic Black Opium signature exudes a wildly powerful sensuality, equal parts bold and exquisite. An ultra-intense scent for those seeking the ultimate day-to-night olfaction. • Top notes: pear accord, green mandarin • Heart notes: orange flower petals, jasmine sambac, cinnamon essence • Base notes: vanilla quarter, coffee accord, patchouli heart, ambrox BOTTLE Unlike any other Black Opium bottle, this over-black jewel shines from cap to toe with a reflective gloss: like an expertly cut gem, chiselled from a precious dark stone. At its centre is a dazzling heart of glitter, emblematic of the vivid fragrance found within.
