Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Review

The first time I smelled this scent I fell for it instantly.The packaging is super stunning it makes me feel luxurious and a little like a superstar when I look at the packaging I fall in love all over again, I love the glitter and the colour of the bottle and box too. Its sexy and feminine and isn't too strong where it gives me a headache, but it also lasts all day which is ideal for me as I hate having to reapply. Anytime I wear this scent I get a lot of compliments and I absolutley recommend it to anyone that loves beautiful floral top notes mixed with that sweet vanilla and the base of coffee, which gives it a highly unique scent. I will forever repurchase this scent (even though it is pricey, but your paying for a fabulous product)as it is my first grown up scent.

I love this perfume. The fragrance is so beautiful and long lasting. It's perfect for any occasion whether going out with the girls or having a chilled out day with the family, it's just the perfect scent for every occasion. I highly recommend it.

.. this has become one of my favourite perfumes of all time. I tend to purchase unisex scents like spicebomb or opium black but this smell absolutely blew me away I just needed it. It's definitely the black coffee that makes it so unique and Although it is very strong It's not overwhelming in any way. Another bonus is it last on my skin all day, yippee!!

I simply adore this heavenly scent and it has become one of my signature scents over the last two years. It's great in summer and winter but use sparingly in summer as it's quite strong and sometimes it can be a little too floral if it's too humid. I love that it lingers and I can pick up the scent on my bag strap or seatbelt or my sons pj's. It's a timeless and beautiful fragrance and I cannot recommend it enough.

I'm very picky about fragrances I have just a few brands I really love. YSL fragrance cost quite a few thousand pretty pennies but when you sniff them or try them on you'll know why. Now I'm not a big fan of the original YSL Opium, I tried it on and it really smelt strong and dated. But Black Opium... is completely different. It combines floral notes and coffee, coffee I've never come across a fragrance with coffee notes before. But it smells gorgeous, sophisticated, glamorous, expensive! And the lasting power... oh you are getting your money's worth in terms of that! One spritz and you smell delicious and sophisticated for 6 hours. This is a stronger perfume but it's not a heavy suffocating scent. I would say it's more of an evening perfume...unless you work in an environment where you're wearing a full tailored suit...at least that's the picture I get. The bottle is pretty black and sparkly with the pink fragrance in the center and the lid stays on nicely. If you like the scent of coffee and white florals you may really like this.

This perfume is aptly named, as I'm absolutely hooked on it right now. It's not exactly the cheapest thing, so I searched hard for any similar scents before giving in and splurging on a 90ml bottle. It's an interesting bottle design, with the sparkly black flask shape and two round glass panels on each side. It's helpful to see how much is remaining once you get down to the level of the glass.

This is really like no other, it's a beautiful blend of sweet marshmellows and delicious coffee. I don't get much floral from this but this is super sophisticated. Honestly one of the few perfumes that suits every occasion and age. It's strong when sprayed, but not overpowering. It's like more people around you can smell it, but the person standing next to you won't find it annoyingly strong. As it wears, the coffee fades out but the sweetness remains. This is extremely long lasting, when I spray it on a scarf or coat I can often smell it days later.

This bottle should last me a fair while, but when it runs out I'll definitely be repurchasing.

The first time I smelt this fragrance, I was hooked! I was addicted and so I bought it. This fragrance comes in a pretty black box. The bottle is gorgeous! Its black, glittery and I love the design with the see through part in the middle, where you can see your perfume and how much is left in the bottle. I only got a small one, but I must say, you only need 1-2 sprays and the scent stays on you all day. The scent is sweet, like vanilla mixed with flowers, but something that you could wear day and night. It is so magnetic, I would definitely recommend and buy again.
