Inspired by the sensorial world of mixology, YSL Black Opium Illicit Green Eau de Parfum is a vibrant and electrifying olfactive experience.Black Opium Master Perfumer Nathalie Lorson and award-winning Parisian mixologist Margot Lecarpentier intertwine the floral gourmand facets of the best-selling Black Opium Eau de Parfum with juicy green mandarin and creamy fig accords, creating a unique ‘mocktail in a scent.’A heart of white florals contrasts the fruity top notes, while the signature, adrenaline-rich coffee base is warmed by balsamic nuances of vanilla bourbon. Cedar essence and patchouli in the base offer a unisex edge.
