Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Floral Shock Reviews

I know that with this release they've tried to be more modern and up to date. Unfortunately this perfume just reminds me of my Nana, and funnily enough, she loves this perfume!! I gave it to her in the end. It's definitely an older scent.

I purchased this as when I met Shaaanxo a couple of years ago she smelt so good and I asked her what she was wearing. It was this perfume! Finally purchased last year and it's every bit as amazing as when I first smelt it. Smells sensual with floral notes. Alluring and mysterious. It's expensive though I picked mine up online for $125. I wear this both day and evening, especially for events or dates or just when I need a pick me up. I adore this smell so much and it's my number 1 favourite scent!!!

I have both the OG black opium and this one and I 100x love this one more from some reason although the scents are very similar I feel I get alot more compliments when I wear this one and everyone always asks what I'm wear I love it fave

Let's start with the Negatives first, Then save the best for last. 💕

Negatives 1) The variety of Sizes this fragrance have to offer is a bummer! They Really need to think about upgrading.

(Correct me if I am wrong), However I'm sure this fragrance only comes in three sizes the largest is 90ml. I love this perfume so much It actually frustrates me that they have no size range above 90ml. This is the only negative thing I have found with the Opium by YSL.

NOW FOR THE BEST PART!🫦💜 By far the most Basic but yet most stunning exterior. Absolutely beautiful smell, The scent of this perfume isn't to strong either, But the One thing I love about this fragrance, You could get away with tipping the whole bottle on you, The scent would make no difference (It would not smell any stronger I found) you could use a little or alot, the scent sticks all day. You find with a lot of fragrance the more you apply the stronger the scent, But Nooo not this fragrance..If you feel a little unmotivated some days 1spray of this and believe me when I say this....! You will feel like a whole new Confident radiant person 😊 It truly is my favourite and who ever tries this beautiful Fragrance it will definitely become your favourite aswel.

I was so excited to try this, as opium has one of my top fragrances for many years.

I tried it shortly after trying the YSL Libre and I have to say they are quite similar.

The fragrance is soft and sweet. I have no idea of identifying notes so I can only describe this as a combination of slightly spiced and sweet. That suits me because I love anything sweet and musky without being floral - I don't at all like floral fragrances.

All up, it's not as nice as Opium in my opinion, but still lovely. Definitely worth a try if you like sweet musky fragrances. It's funny another reviewer described it as suited to her nana. I am older and have loved Opiuim for years so maybe have a solid test spray before you buy it, because maybe it is a fragrance better suited to a mature audience.

This perfume ! Argh so delicious , always getting compliment on this scent . Sad that i have used the bottle up so fast but it definitely will become a staple in my set ! A quote by many sister “What is life without YSL” and your know what i agree ! My all time favourite brand of perfume and I’m obsessed !

One of the best perfumes I've ever tried perfect for day and night smells great and the packaging is beautiful. It really is a classic and timeless staple in your collection of perfumes. It is pricey but it is definitely worth it. The floral notes with the depth really work well together. A little goes a long way and lasts a long time in the skin.

Never thought you could fall in love with a fragrance until I smelt this perfect scent! Smells so delicious and elegant! It also last so long most perfumes wear off in an hour not this one.
