Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Illicit Green Eau de Parfum 75ml is a fresh, slightly green flanker to the iconic YSL Black Opium pillar — composed by Olivier Cresp, Honorine Blanc and Marie Salamagne. The composition opens with bright Italian bergamot and matcha tea, develops through a heart of jasmine sambac and orange blossom, and settles onto a soft coffee-vanilla-musk drydown — a fresher, slightly lighter reading of the Black Opium DNA.

How to use

Reapply lightly later in the day if you'd like the fresh opening to return.
