Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Review

I am a little confused as to why this product doesn't have TOP MARKS from everyone??!! This is honestly the BEST smelling perfume I have EVER smelt (I have said that before about other perfumes, but this time I mean it!)!!!!! Two sprays will last ALL day, you forget your wearing it and are still getting compliments come night time! And that's not even the most amazing part, when I put my clothes through the wash and they're dry again I can still smell the yummyness on my tops! Talk about getting your money's worth! The packaging it beautiful, the scent it classy, this perfume is 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.

Black Opium is my absolute favourite perfume. It is apart of my daily routine, I use it daily and get so many compliments. It is always on my wish list for birthdays, Xmas, anniversaries when I'm getting low but I can not help myself, I have to get another bottle before I run out of the last. It has a sweet smell but not sickly at all.

If you have not tried Black opium you are most definitely missing out.

Purfume tends to not stick with me but black opium took me by suprise and lasted all day. I could smell it on myself and I had compliments through out the day and into the evening. It's not an overpowering scent so I wasn't left sneezing like with other purfumes I have tried. - thanks hayfever and it didn't irritate my skin. For my sensitive skin and allergies I can give it a safe aprooval for myself. It's absolutely devine and my favourite perfume they have released.

One of the good "Vanilla Oriental" perfumes. This type of perfume is my favourite, if I was to compair it to another perfume it would be a less sweet and strong version of angel. The perfume starts off with hints of floral but the vanilla shines threw on me. Around 4 sprays lasts 5/6 hours on me and still lingers, I only respray as I like a stronger smell, but this si personal preferance. I have the 30ml bottle and it was a gift so not sure of the price, I know it was around $100. The bottle is beautiful, the traditional opium design but with black glitter! Whats not to love.

I love the packaging! It is simple, yet gorgeous with its black sparkles.

Every time I wear this perfume I get compliments from complete strangers saying I smell good or asking what perfume I’m wearing.

I find the smell long lasting and not overpowering. I like how the scent isn’t sweet or too ‘young’.

Definitely one I’ll keep buying.... shame about the price though!

I bought a sample of this as it's a highly sought after perfume, but it's a bit spendy and I wasn't prepared to fork out so much for a perfume I didn't know if I was going to like. I am on the fence about it, but Fiance's opinion swayed me to not want it more.

The bottle as I understand it is black and textured, and it reminds me of black diamonds. There is also a hole in the centre of the bottle which shows very clearly the color of the perfume, pink! I love that you can see it and the color. The perfume sample was also a very vivid pink in color, so it's good to know such a small amount doesn't change color.

I sprayed this on myself and I could definitely smell the white florals mentioned, and then as the time goes on the coffee scent kicks in but only slightly. Then a big smack of vanilla comes along and I looove that the most, vanilla is bae!

I asked Fiance if he liked said scent and he put his nose on my skin like a sniffer dog and pulled away slowly. "Why you smell like old lady for?" was his question. So. Thanks for that! The scent lasts a really good amount of time as well, but it's to be expected from such an expensive brand. I wouldn't buy this, even though I do slightly like it. Plus the price tag really throws me off as well.

I bought a bulk haul from a nz website. After many years of lusting for this fragrance I finally got my hands on it . YSL has made many perfumes throughout the years . I remember them being spicy . This collection is total opposite of the old YSL that I remember .

Packaging is beautiful comes in this black diamond shimmering bottle . It’s a standout sophisticated bottle . Consistency liquid with this pinky peach liquid . This scent reminds me of sweet coffee with soft vanilla kisses pulling together a warm sexy vibe . I only wear this one for special occasions so it won’t run out . It last all day . I get compliments all the time when I wear it .

I would without a doubt repurchase this one as a forever buy fragrance . It’s feminine and ellegant more suited for a modern woman who loves sweet scents.

This perfume is aptly named, as I'm absolutely hooked on it right now. It's not exactly the cheapest thing, so I searched hard for any similar scents before giving in and splurging on a 90ml bottle. It's an interesting bottle design, with the sparkly black flask shape and two round glass panels on each side. It's helpful to see how much is remaining once you get down to the level of the glass.

This is really like no other, it's a beautiful blend of sweet marshmellows and delicious coffee. I don't get much floral from this but this is super sophisticated. Honestly one of the few perfumes that suits every occasion and age. It's strong when sprayed, but not overpowering. It's like more people around you can smell it, but the person standing next to you won't find it annoyingly strong. As it wears, the coffee fades out but the sweetness remains. This is extremely long lasting, when I spray it on a scarf or coat I can often smell it days later.

This bottle should last me a fair while, but when it runs out I'll definitely be repurchasing.

This is one of my signature scents, it's slightly floral with vanilla notes but not too sweet. I find it lasts all day if you get the EDP version
