Black Opium Extreme – The New Sensual Fragrance
By Yves Saint Laurent Beauté

Extremely sensual. Extremely feminine. Extremely thrilling. It’s a love-at-first-spray, can’t-do-without, dare­to-be-different fragrance. A superpower in a glittering glam rock bottle. A perfume lover’s Grail. An invitation to dance all night. Let your pent-up energy explode. Catch up on all of tomorrow’s parties with a trail so incredibly long-lasting it will stay with you until dawn — and way beyond. Because it’s more, more, more of everything you crave from YSL Beauty’s icon …

In 2021, YSL Beauty steps up the game with Black Opium Eau De Parfum Extreme.
A radical new intensity, powered by an ultra-black coffee note and boosted by a bold new, ultra-long-lasting overdose of patchouli. Glammed up with an ultra-feminine white floral bouquet. Driving addiction to new heights, creating a true olfactory blackout.
THE FRAGRANCE. AN ULTRA-BLACK ADDICTION. TO THE EXTREME.

With Black Opium Eau De Parfum Extreme, YSL Beauty’s rebel icon goes to its deep dark roots. The black & white contrast of the original Eau de Parfum is taken to its ultimate tension. Extra-black coffee. Ultra­ white flowers. No concessions. No limits.

The authors of the original Eau De Parfum, Master Perfumers Nathalie Lorson, Olivier Cresp, Honorine Blanc & Principal Perfumer Marie Salamagne, reveal their inspiration for the new variation: “A dive into the most extreme darkness of the night when the city lights go out.”

In Black Opium Eau De Parfum Extreme’s nocturnal world, a lush palette of black olfactory tones unfolds from the first, exhilarating spray to the ultra long-lasting, sexy drydown.

Extra Black Coffee Accord: A surge of pure energy, like a fresh shot from the espresso machine. The energizing signature accord takes on a darker, tougher attitude boosted by the full-bodied bitterness of black cocoa absolute.

Deep Patchouli: Adds a velvety woody depth and incredible lasting power to the scent’s signature coffee accord.

Black Vanilla: Vanilla Bourbon Infusions that unveil deep, mysterious and warm vibrations with delicious balsamic tones.

White Flowers: Jasmine and orange blossoms add a fresh facet to the fragrance to level up the scent’s luminosity.

Sparkling Fruit: A sequinned top of juicy pear notes, sweet mandarin, and zesty lemon light up the scent.

THE BOTTLE. OWN THE GLITTER.

Can a perfume bottle be sexy? Oh yes. Extremely so. Especially when it’s all dressed up in black glitter, like so many of Saint Laurent’s edgy, ultra-desirable sequinned evening pieces.

For Black Opium Eau De Parfum Extreme, the iconic Black Opium bottle indulges in the glamorous excess of a full-black, sparkling statement. Entirely covered in decadent glitter, the design reflects the intensity of the fragrance it holds.

A mystery. A glamorous, glittering Grail. For those who want more. For those who live more. Game on.

THE CAMPAIGN. CROSS INTO THE EXTREME WITH ZOE KRAVITZ.

In 2021, the multi-talented Zoe Kravitz – actress and YSL Beauty ambassador since 2017 – takes the Black Opium saga to the next level, with a film inspired by the aesthetics and the rules of gaming.

Epic & instantly iconic, the disruptive new campaign directed by the cutting-edge Canadian filmmaker Jodeb is a thrilling dive into the rabbit hole of a dreamlike digital universe. A world on edge between the organic & the virtual. A world where everything is edgier, black is darker; light is brighter …
