YVES SAINT LAURENT
BLACK OPIUM ILLICIT GREEN

Black Opium Illicit Green opens with a vibrant burst of fig leaf, green mandarin, and juicy pear, creating a refreshing yet slightly sweet introduction that feels both invigorating and inviting. As it settles, the heart reveals a floral elegance of orange blossom and jasmine intertwined with the lushness of fig, adding depth and sophistication. The fragrance eventually transitions into a warm, comforting base of bourbon vanilla, patchouli, and a rich coffee note that lingers softly, creating an intimate aura that’s hard to resist. This Eau de Parfum is designed for women who appreciate a scent that’s versatile enough for both day and night wear. Ideal for the cooler months of winter and fall, Black Opium Illicit Green offers moderate longevity and an intimate sillage that won't overwhelm the senses but will still leave a memorable impression. If you enjoy sweet, coffee-forward fragrances with a touch of floral elegance, this scent stands out in its category and is a worthy addition to your collection, reminiscent of other popular offerings from the Black Opium line but with its own distinct twist.

verifiedBy Fragranova Editors

Expect pear and fig leaf up top, with fig and orange blossom carrying the middle of the wear. The dry-down settles on bourbon vanilla, coffee, and patchouli, giving the composition its lasting character. Expect a reasonable, well-behaved wear — not a beast, not a whisper. Hits hardest across winter and fall at any hour. Most wearers settle on liking it (3.9/5) rather than loving it — a safe rotation addition.
