Who is the new face of Black Opium?
Until now, the perfume Black Opium by Yves Saint-Laurent was embodied on the screen by the seductive Edie Campbell, strolling in the dark night, to the sound of the music “Jungle” of the singer Emma Louise. However, it is clear that the pretty brunette has given way to a brand new muse. This time, it is indeed Zoe Kravitz who embodies the new Black Opium woman. His name necessarily tells you something …
She is none other than the daughter of singer Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet. At the same time, Zoé Kravitz already has a full CV.

This new commercial for Black Opium, developed in collaboration with the Parisian agency BETC, takes place on the track “The Hill” by Canadian R&B singer The Weeknd, and is taken from his second album “Beauty Behind The Madness” of 2015.

As always, the Yves Saint-Laurent house opts for a very dark universe. The scene takes place at night and Zoe Kravitz wanders through a megalopolis. We follow her to the top of a building. The pretty brunette then enters a nightclub, whose circular door is reminiscent of the porthole on the front of the bottle of Black Opium. The images end with a portrait of Zoé Kravitz accompanied by the slogan “Do you feel the call? »… So, will you be one of those who succumb to the” call “of temptation?
