Cat without claws Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Baby Cat Collector

In 1977 Yves Saint Laurent introduces Opium: a groundbreaking perfume. A revolution in a flacon. A new idea of ​​femininity: sultry, provocative, addictive. In 2014, the iconic Opium’s legacy and boldness continue to amaze: the French fashion house unveils Black Opium, reinventing addiction in a new, contemporary light, reshaping for the modern woman.

A modern, young and vibrant interpretation of addiction. Black Opium, a fragrance like a shot of adrenalin, the necessary energy for a life more and more intense.

To celebrate the festive season, Yves Saint Laurent offers a wild twist on a holiday classic: The iconic Black Opium flacon is now adorned with the wildest YSL Print: The feline sparkling Babycat. Just as bold and glamorous as its ambassador: Zoë Kravitz.

The new collector flacon houses the French Maison’s best-selling Black Opium original Eau de Parfum with its signature blend of black coffee, white flowers and creamy vanilla for a warming and sensual scent, created by Marie Salamagne, Nathalie Lorson, Olivier Cresp and Honorine Blanc. The one gift to put on your wish list or to spoil someone special this season.

Top: pear accord, mandarin essence
Heart: vanilla, orange blossom, white flowers
Base: black coffee accord, cedarwood essence, white musk, patchouli

 A captivating floral gourmand scent, twisted with an overdose of black coffee, for a shot of adrenaline. Energy, sensuality, coupled with that unique YSL edge. The signature black coffee accord is paired with creamy vanilla, enriched by the softness of white flowers and orange blossom, against a base of patchouli and comforting white musk, for a women’s fragrance that bewitches with its trail.

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Baby Cat belongs to this collection and comes in a black lacquered bottle with a bright red sequined animal print (with the pink color of the juice seen through the center of the glittering flacon). This collector’s edition reportedly represents a confident and daring woman who embodies the new spirit of the French Maison.

How to use:

For light intensity: spray in a cloud around your head and shoulders, let the fragrance fall gently around you.
For medium intensity: spray in a y-shape across your body, beginning at one shoulder and finishing at the other. If you are wearing jewellery it is a great alternative to spraying your neck.
For added intensity: apply perfume directly to your pulse points and / or hot spots (wrist, inner elbow and lower neck). Here the heat of your body will allow the fragrance to reveal its full trail. Include shoulders and back to intensify your perfume trail.

For the winter holiday season, Yves Saint Laurent prepared other collector’s editions of its best-selling perfumes in flacons decorated with animal prints (like Libre, Mon Paris…..) along with various gift sets and a make-up collection called ‘Dress Me Wild’.

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Baby Cat is available as 50ml Eau de Parfum, at selected stores worldwide. Come into the beautiful world of Yves Saint Laurent.

 

Bold. Bright. Stylish. Want it. Wear it. YSL x Zoë Kravitz Collection – Rouge Pur Couture.

Edgy meets cool for the hottest couture collaboration ever. Zoë Kravitz revisits Rouge Pur Couture. Designing six exclusive new shades in an utterly beautiful pack. Bold. Bright. Stylish. Want it. Wear it.

Rouge Pur Couture is one of my favorite products. The texture is so beautiful. It doesn’t get too dry; it’s not too shiny. It’s kind of perfect.

Zoë Kravitz

Zoë Kravitz is having a busy year. Not only did she reprise her role as Bonnie Carlson in the second season of the HBO hit drama, Big Little Lies, she also wed longtime boyfriend, Karl Glusman, appeared in an ad with Tumi, and is set to star in the highly anticipated High Fidelity TV reboot on Hulu.

It seems the actress, musician, and model has no plans of resting on her laurels just yet. Her latest partnership is with French Maison Yves Saint Laurent – with which she has been a makeup and fragrance ambassador since 2017 – to release a lipstick collection to floor us all.

I’ve been working with YSL Beauté for a while now, and I really wanted to get more involved and more creative. This collection is for anyone who wants to be playful; anyone who wants to express themselves.

Zoë Kravitz

Bringing her own strong identity to the Rouge Pur Couture, each YSL x Zoë Kravitz lipstick is now even more perfect. The collection comes in six shades: three reds and three nudes, with three finishes: satiny radiance, radiant matte and shimmer satin. With each shade named after the loved ones in Zoë’s life, the colours are both storied and versatile.

The Nudes

Nudes are great for daytime, but also if you want to do a very dramatic eye for night-time to keep it kind of simple.

Zoë Kravitz

Rouge Pur Couture Arlene’s Nude No 121 – a satiny radiance, a beautiful rosewood nude named after Zoë’s grandmother. “She was just such a beautiful woman. And she always wore very simple to no makeup, so this feels appropriate for her”.

Rouge Pur Couture Maris’ Nude No 123 – a radiant matte finish, a warm brown shade so named after Zoë’s godmother. “She’s just one of the most fabulous women I know”.

Rouge Pur Couture Honey’s Nude No 125 – a shimmery satin finish, a pretty rose nude, and a reminder of the nickname ‘Honey Brown’ which is what Zoë called her godmother Cree Summer.

 

The Reds

Reds are always sexy. Reds can kind of class everything up. Reds are great for night-time. You can almost have no other makeup on, but a red.

Zoë Kravitz

Rouge Pur Couture Wolf’s Red No 122 – a universal intense bold red with a satiny radiance, named after Zoë’s brother. “Red is his favourite colour!”

Rouge Pur Couture Scout’s Red No 124 – a bright red with orange undertones, with a radiant matte finish, “Scout is my dog. She doesn’t need lipstick. But we all wanna be as fabulous as Scout!”

Rouge Pur Couture Lale’s Red No 126 – a strong dark red, with a shimmer satin finish. “Lale is my nickname for my mom.”

 

Inspired by her own black Saint Laurent Niki bag, Zoë has created a Rouge Pur Couture lipstick case fully decked out in glossy black lacquer. Embellished in silvery eye-catching glitter, the lipstick’s signature Cassandre gets its very own distinctive Zoë twist – dressed up in contrasting, imposing black matte.

The black logo on the black packaging came from one of my favorite Saint Laurent bags, called the Niki bag. And the sparkle was inspired by the Black Opium packaging.

Zoë Kravitz

A full range so you can get to picking out your favourite(s). The YSL x Zoë Kravitz Collection ($52) is available from 15 October 2019 at selected stores world wide. Come into the beautiful world of Yves Saint Laurent.
