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 an extremely long-lasting fragrance that takes the signature Black Opium to the next level, YSL Beauty introduces Black Opium Eau de Parfum Extreme.

SCENT:
The Eau de Parfum Extreme takes Black Opium’s original captivating floral gourmand scent to a new level – no holds barred. Uncompromising energy and boundless sensuality married with the unique YSL edge.
Extra black coffee, for vigour and vitality, is paired with luminous ultra-white flowers, set against a base of sweet, earthy patchouli and heady vanilla.
This exhilarating amalgamation of ingredients makes for an intense and long-lasting women’s scent that challenges gender stereotypes in fragrances.

– Top notes: pear accord, mandarin essence, cherry accord
– Heart notes: orange blossom absolute, jasmine absolute
– Base notes: black coffee accord, vanilla accord, patchouli essence, tonka bean

BOTTLE:
A lavish take on our original and iconic Black Opium bottle – same black, same glitter, but taken to the extreme. From cap to toe, the Black Opium Extreme bottle is adorned in black glitter, as if dressed in sequins. The usually pink centre is transformed into a black core, highlighting the unbridled mystery and sophistication at the heart of this fragrance.

Directions

– For light intensity: spray YSL Beauty Black Opium Extreme Eau de Parfum in a cloud around your head and shoulders, let the fragrance fall gently around you.
– For medium intensity: spray in a y-shape across your body, beginning at one shoulder and finishing at the other. If you are wearing jewellery it is a great alternative to spraying your neck.
– For added intensity: apply perfume directly to your pulse points and/or hot spots (wrist, inner elbow and lower neck). Here the heat of your body will allow the fragrance to reveal its full trail. Include shoulders and back to intensify your perfume trail

OTHER APPLICATION TIPS:
– Hair & hair accessories: they can be fragranced for a gentle fragrance trail. For just a halo of scent, spray your hair brush only. For the ultimate pampering treat for your hair discover the Black Opium Hair Mist, infused with Argan oil.
– Garments: perfume the inside of your jacket and coats for a medium trail. For added intensity of fragrance go further and perfume your blouse/jumper.
– Scarves: for lighter fragrance, spray a scarf and wrap the scarf around your neck to transfer fragrance onto yourself gently.
– Bathing: spritz perfume on warm bath water for an indulgent experience.
