Boe has built her profile through film and television roles. Her credits include the Apple TV+ series The Buccaneers and the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why.
The brand links Boe’s public image with the qualities it wants to express through the fragrance. Her work carries an open and emotionally direct quality. Her public persona reflects self-expression and close connection with others. Those ideas guide the new campaign and support YSL Beauty’s approach to Black Opium as a fragrance tied to nightlife, energy and shared experiences.
Boe describes Black Opium as a scent that captures the rush and intensity of a night out. She connects its character with loud music, collective energy and the freedom to act without holding back.
The partnership also introduces Black Opium Pink Glaze, the latest addition to the fragrance line. YSL Beauty places Boe at the front of the launch and uses her appointment to open a new phase for the product family. The release follows the original Black Opium, which first arrived in 2014 and established the core scent identity that the brand continues to develop.
Black Opium Pink Glaze keeps coffee bean at the center of the composition and adds a juicy strawberry accord. Coffee gives the fragrance dark warmth. Strawberry adds a bright, juicy character. YSL Beauty uses the combination to create a new interpretation of the fragrance for a younger audience.
Her casting also extends YSL Beauty’s wider strategy of working with emerging actors and cultural figures. The brand presents Boe as a representative of a new Hollywood generation that values individuality, honesty and direct communication.
