This is my absolute favourite fragrance! My boyfriend gave it to me as a birthday present and I've been using it ever since. The scent starts off strong but i guess it dilutes throughout the day, but it stays on you all day. I always get compliments that I smell great lol. The scent is sweet and kind of floral and the bottle is luxurious. Its definitely worth every cent!

I LOVE ITTTTT!!
Tips: Spray a little on your wrists and neck, a little bit goes a long way. If you want it to last longer just put a little bit of vaseline or unscented lip balm on your skin.

A favourite of mine.
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?

Such a beautiful scent
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

So beautiful, but I am allergic :(
Such a beautiful scent! But unfortunately I am really allergic to it! I came back and forth from the store I brought it from trying it on my wrist, it did not react so I brought it.I then sprayed on my neck and it was almost instant dry itchy skin.
The scent itself is to die for! The Jasmine and coffee together is gorgeous and it sets well on the skin (well not mine) and it will last and last. It has even stayed on my skin after having a shower. If only!

YSL Black Opium
Really really nice scent. I think the price is a bit ridiculous but it is YSL. The bottle is nice and feels luxurious as expected. The smell is long lasting and is definitely like nothing else. Overall it is nice but I dont think that I would purchase again just because the price is a bit too much.

Scentual
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 :)

You Smell Lucious! YSL
If lust was a fragrance it would be Black opium, there are some things that I cant get enough of, this is one of those few things. Each time I was in Farmers I would spritz this all over myself and wish money would fall from the sky so I could purchase this for myself. Sadly this never happened but when my husband asked me what I wanted for my 30th, I knew this was what I wanted oh so badly!
The bottle is so gorgeous, Im a huge fan of black , and all of the beautiful glossy glitz on the outside? This was me in a bottle!
After I got this baby in my hands, it took me weeks to spray this on myself, I was so afraid of wasting it, for the price I wanted to make every spray count. Now I use it for special occasions, going out to dinner, starbucks, makeup shopping? Those kinds of special things, and each time I use it I fall head over heels in love with the aroma of sweet vanilla and coffee. Maybe thats why I love it so much, the sweet scents are a weakness and coffee is something I cant love without. This is one of the few fragrances that stay on my skin, it doesn't absorb and become invisible unlike other fragrances. If I wear a jacket or shirt the scent will linger for days with just a few sprays.
It is a costly perfume but worth every penny. Spraying this on myself makes me feel like wonder woman every time!

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.
Tips: spray on all pulse points for night time to keep it lasting through the night. I use it sparingly through the day on just my wrists and on my hairbrush and brush it through my hair.
