Black Opium Illicit Green, released by Yves Saint Laurent in 2022 and composed by Olivier Cresp and Nathalie Lorson, adds fig and green leaves to the coffee-vanilla formula. Everyone describes it as gourmand; about two thirds also find it green and floral, and a third woody or citrus.
The opening is fresh and leafy, with green mandarin giving a crisp citrus, pear a juicy sweetness and fig leaf a sharp, green, slightly milky bitterness. The heart continues the fig, now the ripe fruit, soft and jammy, alongside jasmine and orange blossom for a creamy, honeyed white floral warmth. The base is the familiar foundation, as bourbon vanilla brings a thick sweetness, coffee a roasted depth and patchouli an earthy dryness.
Most wearers report moderate longevity, with more than a quarter finding it long lasting; the trail is moderate, sometimes strong. It is voted for winter and autumn, and divides almost evenly between night and day. It suits anyone who wants a sweet coffee scent with a green, fig-leaf edge that makes it feel less heavy.
