YSL Black Opium🖤

YVES SAINT LAURENT - Black Opium Eau de Parfum My fiancé got me this perfume as an early birthday present & I absolutely LOVE it! To be honest, I wouldn’t have ever thought to buy it on my own but I am so happy he got it for me. It smells so amazing & you really only need one small spray & it lasts ALL day! I have been getting complimented like crazy every day I wore it so far! It has a very sweet scent, almost like vanilla but also with subtle flowery notes! It’s such a sexy smell! You guys need to try it out!

Okay, now anyone who follows me knows that I am a huge sucker for packaging.. and that’s definitely how YSL pulled me in on this one. I do love the way that the traditonal YVES SAINT LAURENT - Black Opium Eau de Parfum smells, but this bottle and this new fragrance bring something else to the table. With the traditional notes of coffee and vanilla from the orginal perfume this is a scent you’ll recognize, but the new elements of the YVES SAINT LAURENT - Black Opium Eau de Parfum Intense might have you sniffing twice. This perfume also has more orange blossom notes, while the original sticks more to the white flower notes (so this one does have a bit of a cirtrus kick to it). But it also has notes of Absinthe, which give it an incredibly unique smell. After watching reviews I was concerned that the black licorice notes would be too strong, but personally I barely even notice them. This perfume is perfect for the woman who loves the basic pleasures in life, but is willing to be a bit more daring and bold. If you love warm, robust, and spicy frangrances this one is for you! This being said it is on a steeper side price wise, but I find that the eau intense formula lasts 8+ hours on my skin! Will I be repurchasing - 120%, I can see this becoming my signature scent for sure! I love the smell and how long it lasts, my only fear is that because it’s limited time I won’t be able to get a second bottle before mine runs out! Might have to pick-up another one at the next VIB sale 🤩
