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.
Black Opium Illicit Green takes inspiration from the sensorial world of mixology, reinventing the ever-iconic Black Opium with an energising and refreshing twist.
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 super essence, fig leaf accord
- Heart notes: orange blossom absolute, jasmine grandiflorum super infusion, fig
- Base notes: coffee accord, vanilla bourbon super infusion, patchouli essence, cedar essence
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.

WHY DO WE SELL DECANTS?
Because there are so many fragrances and so little time! We sell samples which are a wonderful way to try many fragrances before deciding on the full bottle you know you will love. Samples offer the ability to wear perfume for a week or more and decide if that fragrance is right for you. Once you sample fragrances and find ones that you love, you can buy a full bottle from another E-tailer, department store or perfume boutique.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE: You pick the scent and the size, then we decant from the original bottle or vessel into a brand new sterile glass spray (please note 1ml samples are not sprays). We label each decant and carefully package to prevent leakage. To assure you that you get the exact amount listed for each decant bottle, we use medical measuring devices so that each bottle is filled the exact amount. Please note, there is air space left at the top of the bottles which is important for pressurization in atomizers. Air space does not mean you received less than the amount listed. Please understand before purchasing, you will NOT receive an original bottle of perfume from the manufacturer. However, you WILL receive a re-packaged, unaltered, freshly and expertly hand-decanted scent.
DECANTING PROCESS: Each vessel is hand decanted after payment and moments before shipping from our bottles of authentic fragrances. We use sterile medical pipettes designated for each fragrance, or the perfume is sprayed or poured directly from the original bottle.
