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 light and fresh fragrance, YSL Beauty introduces Black Opium Eau de Toilette.
SCENT
A daringly fresh take on the signature Black Opium Eau de Parfum. The Eau de Toilette takes the Black Opium dark coffee accord, and infuses it with a spark of dazzling freshness. The fragrance opens with energising notes of citrus fruit and the radiance of pear, teamed with a floral heart of orange blossom, set against a comforting base blending white musks and the signature black coffee, making for a women’s perfume that is uplifting and easy-to-wear.
Crafted by Natalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp and Honorine Blanc.
- Top notes: pear accord, lemon essence
- Heart notes: jasmine, orange blossom, white flowers

BOTTLE
The signature Black Opium bottle becomes translucent, dressed in pink and black glitter with the Black Opium signature stamped in metallic pink, to reflect the lighter character of the Eau de Toilette fragrance.
