YSL Black Opium Intense Eau de Parfum 30ml
For those seeking an indulgent fragrance awash with contrasts and mystery, YSL Beauty introduces Black Opium Eau de Parfum Intense. Sultry black coffee meets the magnetic energy of blue absinth. Deep and seductive.
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.
The Scent
A bolder take on the floral-gourmand signature of the original Black Opium Eau de Parfum.
The Eau de Parfum Intense brings a magnetic blast of energy to the Black Opium coffee accord with the thrilling aura of blue absinthe.
Absinthe, woven with wormwood and aromatic herbs, blends with anis and juicy boysenberry, set against a rich floral heart of jasmine sambac absolute and orange blossom.
At the base, the signature black coffee accord is paired with liquorice, sandalwood and creamy vanilla for a women’s perfume that is electric yet smooth and unashamedly seductive.
Crafted by Natalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp and Honorine Blanc.
Top notes: absinthe essence, boysenberry
Heart notes: liquorice absolute, orange blossom, jasmine sambac absolute
Base notes: black coffee accord, vanilla absolute, sandalwood
The Bottle
A mysterious take on the Black Opium signature bottle, inspired by the energy of the night and the distinctive hue of absinthe. The shimmering blue electrifies the sleek bottle silhouette, thrilling in its intensity. Like a woman in a couture dress, dancing under the moonlit night sky, twinkling with the stars.
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
