What Does Black Opium Illicit Green Smell Like?

The base is rounded off by Black Opium’s iconic black coffee and vanilla blend, perfectly balanced by the warm woody tones of patchouli and cedar.

Top notes are Pear Accord, Green Mandarin Superessence, Fig Leaf Accord. Heart notes are Orange Blossom Absolute, Jasmine Grandiflorum Superinfusion, Fig. Base notes are Coffee Accord, Vanilla Bourbon Superinfusion, Patchouli Essence, Cedar Essence.

Why It’s Escentual:

An embodiment of the Black Opium woman – who is confident, brave and lives life to the fullest – the sensual and bold scent is perfectly represented by YSL muse, Zo Kravitz. Ideal for anyone looking for a brighter, fresher take on the original fragrance, Illicit Green is the perfect Black Opium scent for daytime wear.

A desirable addition to any private YSL Black Opium collection, the bottle is dressed from head to toe in the familiar black glitter finish. The difference? A window into the fragrance’s neon green heart, which screams freshness – just like the aroma.
