The Scent:
Black Opium Illicit Green Eau de Parfum is a bold and unique collaboration between Black Opium Master Perfumer Nathalie Lorson, and award-winning Parisian mixologist Margot Lecarpentier. Together, they twisted Black Opium’s original captivating floral gourmand scent with juicy green mandarin and creamy fig accord, making for a vibrant mocktail-inspired fragrance that invigorates all the senses. Energizingly fresh, just as captivating, and always with the unique YSL edge.
A dark, roasted coffee base, with warm balsamic notes from vanilla bourbon, is contrasted with the fruity and tangy qualities of green mandarin. Add in the green floral facets of jasmine and the sweetness of fig, and this electrifying combination of ingredients makes for a scent that is at once zesty, sparkling, creamy and sensual, and challenges gender stereotypes in fragrances.
Top notes: pear accord, green mandarin superessence, fig leaf accord
Heart notes: orange blossom absolute, jasmine grandiflorum superinfusion, fig
Base notes: coffee accord, vanilla bourbon superinfusion, patchouli essence, cedar essence
The Bottle
A bottle as on-trend and enthralling as the scent itself. The neon green centre brings a modern edge to the signature Black Opium glitter-encrusted bottle.
How to use:
For light intensity: spray 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.
