Black Opium Illicit Green revisits the legacy of the Opium myth, an olfactory masterpiece conceived by Monsieur Saint Laurent in 1977. Originally provocative and scandalous, this iconic fragrance caused a sensation upon its debut. Now, forty-five years later, Black Opium Illicit Green emerges as Yves Saint Laurent’s first fragrance inspired by mocktails, designed to transform every night into an unforgettable celebration. Black Opium Illicit Green blends two realms of expertise into a singular experience. At its core lies a collaboration between two talented and visionary women: Nathalie Lorson, Master Perfumer, and Margot Lecarpentier, mixology expert. A zesty, tangy Green Mandarin invigorates the Café Noir Accord, the striking signature of Black Opium. Wrapped in green velvet, the Fig accord adds a luscious, fruity dimension to the composition.
Committed to sustainability, Black Opium Illicit Green sources Green Mandarin Essence from Italy and Bourbon Vanilla from Madagascar from sustainable origins.
