In 2021, the house Yves Saint-Laurent brings one of its greatest classics back into the spotlight. The house presents a new feminine composition named Black Opium Extreme. Olfactorily, this is an amber and vanilla fragrance that showcases coffee. Particularly intense, this juice is meant for all women who love living intense emotions, proving as seductive as they are cosmopolitan. As for the bottle, Black Opium Extreme reprises many elements of its predecessors, while possessing a personality all its own. Here is a breakdown of its visual.
Black Opium Extreme by Yves Saint-Laurent, a bottle inspired by the Asian world
Black Opium Extreme by Yves Saint-Laurent has an atypical shape, at once square, while featuring rounded edges. As a reminder, this silhouette was born in 1977, when Yves Saint-Laurent crafted the very first version of Opium. To design its bottle, Yves Saint-Laurent drew inspiration from a Japanese inro, a precious case worn by warriors of the Far East. Today, Black Opium Extreme by Yves Saint-Laurent has a more contemporary bottle, revisiting this traditional object. Once molded in a nylon plastic shell and printed in a red color, particularly popular in China, this bottle is now made of glass and takes on an elegant black color.
Black, an omnipresent color on Black Opium Extreme by Yves Saint-Laurent
In 1977, Opium was almost entirely red. In 2014, Black Opium became black while carrying a central orange-pink window, like a fiery heart. Today, on Black Opium Extreme by Yves Saint-Laurent, black dominates. Of course, this color was not chosen at random. It evokes at a single glance the intensity of pitch-black night. Indeed, the woman who wears this fragrance blossoms more fully at night. She is a nocturnal creature who loves to seduce once the sun has darkened. Even the Yves Saint-Laurent window now has a translucent black hue. The rest of the bottle is nevertheless glittery, as if to evoke the sophisticated world of Parisian runway shows, and more particularly those of the Yves Saint-Laurent house. Black Opium Extreme by Yves Saint-Laurent seems to have donned an evening gown and is dressed to the nines more than ever! Blacker than ever, this bold shiny finish is inspired by an endless night. Its central disc also reveals a deep translucent black through which the new juice is perceived.
The other elements of the Yves Saint-Laurent bottle
The bottle of Black Opium Extreme by Yves Saint-Laurent is split into two equal parts, while its cap forms a half-moon shape emblematic of the entire collection.

As for size, the Black Opium Extreme by Yves Saint-Laurent bottle comes in three different sizes, in spray bottles of 90, 50 or 30 ml. Finally, the whole is presented in an entirely glittery cardboard packaging. Very elegant and shiny on all sides, this cardboard box bears the emblematic logo of the Yves Saint-Laurent brand, made up of the designer's three initials.
