Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Review

Gorgeous bottle and scent! as a lover of the original opium I was begging to trial this! heard amazing things and this does live up to it's hype! its sweet yet strong and could be worn at any age in any weather. Its a cosy and warm scent that everyone will love. Its super long-lasting and draws in many compliments - my only issue is at times everyone I know is wearing this and this is the only scent I can smell which makes it feel a bit less unique and special. But this would be a perfect gift for anyone as its a gorgeous scent.

My new favourite perfume! I smelled this scent on someone and bought myself a bottle because it smells so amazing. I get so many compliments on it and I really enjoy wearing it.

I love this perfume! It is unique and exotic without being over powering. The chocolate and coffee hints make it alluring - one of the best!

This perfume really works with your skin chemistry, I find I put it on and can’t smell it on my skin yet I get sooo many compliments on how nice I smell. I have the EDP 50ml bottle. It’s a very rich warm vanilla scent, but so delicious! It’s balanced well with other notes like cedar and orange blossom which come through about half an hour after spraying.

I absolutely adore black opium, it is the first perfume Ive loved so much I used the whole bottle and bought another, my hubby even knows he won't go astray buying me this! Love the sweet notes, smells like warm brown sugar mmmm

I purchased this in the 50ml size as a birthday treat for myself. I really like this perfume! It's expensive, but it's worth it. I enjoy this for daily wear, and this one has been on high rotation. It's a full bodied, warm scent with interesting sweet and spicy notes which some will love and some will hate. I adore wearing Black Opium in winter especially, but it makes me feel sexy all year round!

I love this perfume! I have repurchased this and asked for it for Christmas/birthdays more times than I can count. The scent is beautiful and lasts for hours. It has coffee notes to it which I find give me a great pick me up first thing in the morning. It comes in a range of sizes and I always keep a small bottle in my handbag and my travel bag so I'm never without my favourite perfume!

I was very lucky to receive a 30ml bottle of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium at Christmas. Wow! I am not wearing this parfum today but I am smelling the lid (and can't stop smelling) as I am writing this review.

I love the outer packaging with a black box, mirrored rose pink edges and the sparkling YSL emblem. The fragrance bottle itself is textured black with sparkles. And not to forget the glass centre window, which shows off a very vivid pink, exotic parfum.

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium fragrance itself confuses me. I can smell so many different notes and once sprayed on my body, the fragrance changes throughout the day. I can smell a mixed blend of warm, woody, fruity, spicy notes - just so sensual. Addictive.

Fragrances should be worn everyday. I like to alternate fragrances that I wear. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is definitely a 'less is more' fragrance. Two sprays of this stunning fragrance lasts the day.

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is worth every penny. If you have never tried this fragrance, spray some at your nearest makeup counter today :-)
