In September of 2014 Yves Saint Laurent launched Black Opium, the new fragrance

announced as a rock'n'roll interpretation of the classic that should highlight

the dark, mysterious side of the YSL brand. Master perfumers Nathalie Lorson and

Marie Salamagne, in collaboration with Olivier Cresp and Honorine Blanc,

developed the composition. Notes of coffee, present in large quantities,

dominate the scent. Additional accords are pink pepper, orange blossom, jasmine,

vanilla, patchouli and cedar. The perfume comes in the bottle designed as the

last editions of the Opium collection. The bottle is dark and decorated with

sequins that give a glam rock look. The face of the perfume's campaign is

British model Edie Campbell, shot by Daniel Wolfe.
