Why are you so expensive D: this perfume had been on my lust list for a looooong, long time. Every time I went into Farmers I would spray this on myself and walk away sadly, hoping that a stranger would randomly purchase it for me...
Alas that didn't happen. I was always taught that if you want something then you need to work for it and buy it for yourself... So that's what I did. I decided on a whim to treat myself. I haven't regretted it since.
Firstly this comes in a beautiful black sparkly bottle with a pink centre. I like the centre because you can see how much perfume you have left (or, more realistically cry as it slowly depletes). The design of this bottle looks insanely luxurious on your dresser.
The scent... Ohhhhh the scent... This is such a sexy smell. On me at first it smells quite sweet but as my skin warms it up it turns into a gorgeous feminine musky smell. Since purchasing it I have had soooo many compliments on my perfume - from women and men.
Obviously I wear perfume for myself and no one else but his is by far the most complimented perfume I have ever had. Most importantly it makes me feel like a million bucks when I wear it. I swear this perfume brings your inner seductress out... ;)
If you haven't had the pleasure of smelling this then I highly, highly recommend giving it a whiff when you can. This is something I can definitely see myself purchasing again - I NEVER repurchase perfume.
Yes this is expensive but two sprays will do you all day. The scent lasts on my skin all day - even if I sweat. It's gorgeous and I cannot rave enough about it. Go smell it!
Wow wow wow after reading the great reviews here I went to my local farmers to try it for myself and fell in love straight away and brought the 50ml bottle for $170.
The bottle says it all it is black with blue glittery sparkles over the black. It is gorgeous it makes you want to wear your little black dress and your sparkly shoes. That is what the bottle reminds me of. It also has a pink circle in the centre which has black opium and the trademark Yves Saint Laurent stamped on it.
This very sweet alluring fragrance has you hooked as soon as you first spray it. Instantly I can smell pepper and spice then you can smell vanilla and patchouli and a musk and topped off with a tiny hint of espresso coffee that has just been freshly extracted from the coffee machine.
The longer I wear it the more it mellows. The spice and pepper seems to fade and I think this is where a tiniest hint of orange comes through and definitely more of the vanilla comes through. It is Devine! This lasts on me throughout the day and I think it is the perfect scent for the cooler months ahead. It makes you feel warm and cozy. Like a long cold winters night and your inside with the fire going and you are all snuggled into your man.
Even my partner who is a real manly man that doesn't take any interest in anything beauty related said that smells good quite vanilla-ry as soon as I sprayed it. Which said a lot to me that he noticed it and liked it
