Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Review

I have a love hate relationship with this perfume, when i first bought it i did not like smell at all! Probably because i do not like coffee and when i used it, it was very strong and bitter when first applied and on my skin i got more of the coffee notes. However i noticed when it dried down it had more of the sweet notes to it. On my skin the lasting power is roughly 4 hours so i did have to keep reapplying and i had EDP I kept using it to use it up and it grew on me and i did get compliments even from my brother! I believe this is one you ever love or hate. If i repurchased i would use sparingly as i do like it now. Also i would get a tester first to see if it's what you like before spending alot on a perfume you don't like

Yes I spelt scentual because it is a scent that gets you ual lol. A cult fave that I've fallen for once I smelt it I was able to purchase a bottle onine thru someone secondhand so I got a nice sample fo this product then I went out and got me 100ml bottle. I'm a coffee addict so the notes in this fragrance are right up my alley. The bottle is to its own design a sparkle Black sleek bottle with a big round see thru middle that gives the illusion of the perfume fluid inside. So stylish. The fragrance is addictive I spray it so much it's very mature yet sweet and to me at times has this muskyness about it. I love to wear it all the time but I give it a break it's like suitable for night and day but goes well for serious big girl situation and not overbearing just fragrant & cheerful how can it be I guess that the secret to the fragrance. With a a name like black opium it's definitely an addictive scentual scent. Enough said everyone needs to try it but don't worry if you haven't because we can't go around all smelling the same at the same time :)

ABSOLUTELY love this. I got given a sample in Farmers and fall in love with it. A bit expensive to buy but totally worth it. If you are travelling, keep an eye for it in Duty Free where you can get it cheaper. Pleasant, nice, gentle scent wins me. It lasts all day long and still there after I shower. Highly recommend

I smelt this and was instantly in love!!! I find that it is a more mature yet seductive scent, great for a night out and very long lasting. It combines a lot of my favourite things including coffee and vanilla! Yum! It leans more on the sweeter side but I works well as I am a sucker for the sweeter scents, but it smells expensive as it has more mature notes with the semi floral scent in the background. The bottle is stunning and very sleek! I love the black sparkley bottle it looks very high end and gives the look of black diamonds rather than a glitter bottle.

I was given a small sample bottle of Black Opium at Farmers and I LOVE it! I have been looking for a fragrance that makes me feel confident and sexy on a night out and this is it!

It is sexy, sweet, seductive and warm all in one! I have been using the same perfume for years and have only just started looking for something a little more 'grown up' but something that i still love the smell of and feel sexy and feminine in! Something that I can spritz on myself as the final touch to a perfect outfit!

My partner loved it and commented on how sexy I smelt every time I wore it and has promised to get me a bottle for my upcoming birthday and I cannot wait!

I am drawn the the delicious vanilla smell of it mixed with a hint of coffee and a floral undertone, it is such a treat to my nostrils! When I wear it, I just feel like a movie star - like that is what a movie star would wear on the red carpet!

I was gifted this perfume earlier in the year, and I absolutely love it. It smells so gorgeous!! It is quite a mature scent, and more of an evening scent but I love it so much that I often put it on during the day! I'm dreading the day that I run out of it, because it is waaaay out of my price range so I doubt I'd ever repurchase it! I'd be over the moon to have it gifted to me again haha it's my fave

I have the Black Opium Floral, so was stoked to receive a sample size of this in the BBBE Xmas box. Lovely, light, sweet fragrance. Perfect for day time wear. I apply this in the morning, but find by the end of my work day I can barely smell it anymore.(after 9 hours) A quick spritz to refresh is an easy fix. I have a few perfumes on the go atm so won't be purchasing immediately. Would definitely consider purchasing in future though.

This fragrance is like no other. I'm usually a sweet/floral type of fragrance girl. But I was walking past the fragrance area at Farmers when this had just been spritzed. I had to stop and do a double take and ask what it was. One word, WOW. It completely caught my attention, which is what you want when wearing a fragrance. Needless to say I had to get my hands on it and have it in my life.

This fragrance has got coffee and vanilla notes and is truly one of a kind and makes you feel sexy when you wear it. I purchased the 50ml bottle for around $170. ($230 for the 100ml was out of my price range at the time) Totally worth it! It's the fragrance I've always been looking for. Even though it is COMPLETELY different to something I'd normally wear. It has a sort of warm feel to it. Perfect for night time or winter but I wear mine all year round. It's so yummy! I own a lot of fragrances but this one is my absolute favorite.

I'm not a huge fan of the bottle it comes in, but it's not too bad. Apart from that, 10/10 would recommend!

A sweet yet deep And Smokey fragrance that is distinctive and memorable, perfect for a first date or a night out. A long lasting fragrance that people will remember.

Love the packaging, so sleek and I do love a little sparkle.

This is my all time favourite fragrance. The smell is amazing and the scent lasts all day long. The only down side is how pricey it is, which is why I only use this fragrance on special occasions. Plus the packaging is super nice. What girl doesn't love black or glitter?
