Black Opium Illicit Green

THE STORY

Black Opium Illicit Green, a new addiction echoing the legacy of the Opium myth: an olfactory masterpiece imagined by Monsieur Saint Laurent in 1977. The iconic fragrance, conceived as an intoxicating, narcotic substance, caused a scandal from its release.

Forty-five years later, Black Opium Illicit Green: the first Yves Saint Laurent fragrance conceived as a mocktail. To turn every night into an unforgettable playground.
Scandalously illicit.

Scandalously addictive.

THE FRAGRANCE

Black Opium Illicit Green is a unique pairing of two crafts.

At the heart of this fragrance lies the unprecedented meeting of two talented and inspiring women: Nathalie Lorson, master perfumer, and Margot Lecarpentier, mixology expert.

A green mandarin with juicy, tangy freshness refreshes the black coffee accord, the addictive signature of Black Opium. Like a fruity, gourmand shot, the fig accord wraps the creation in green, velvety notes.

Black Opium Illicit Green commits to the future: the green mandarin essence from Italy and the bourbon vanilla from Madagascar come from sustainable supply chains.

THE BOTTLE

The case of Black Opium Illicit Green is dressed in a glittery black lacquer, revealing at its heart a hypnotic green halo, evoking the neon glow of a forbidden night.
