ABOUT BLACK OPIUM YVES SAINT LAURENT

YSL claims that black is not a colour, but an attitude - fascinating yet seductively intoxicating. This is everything that the Black Opium Yves Saint Laurent fragrance represents. This much is true for a number of the

within the Opium range. I for one want to expand my YSL fragrance collection, but enough about me and my wish-list. Lets take a look at Black Opium's story. In 2014 YSL launched the ‘Black Opium Eau de Parfum’, a glam-rock fragrance full of mystery and energy. Black Opium Eau de Parfum is an enticingly-seductive fragrance, the balance is carefully crafted, bringing an intense, alluring scent to your immediate attention. The element of coffee brings a shuddering jolt to the perfume, while the base notes linger on the skin with a warm comforting creamy vanilla-like twist.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS BLACK OPIUM YVES SAINT LAURENT

I adore the subtly textured glass bottle and the glittery finish. Yet, the contrasting glaze gives the fragrance a soft lacquered look, bringing femininity back to its persona. Watch as the silver specs catch the light and occasionally reflect a blue-toned hue. The added pop of liquid poking through the centre of the bottle indulges the wearer of Black Opium Yves Saint Laurent even further. From the elegantly branded cap, to the transparency within the centre of the bottle, this fragrance takes first prize on my dresser.

So, how does the Black Opium Eau de Parfum wear? Even after five hours on the skin, notes of Black Opium Yves Saint Laurent can be detected. I'm addicted to YSL’s Black Opium Eau de Parfum and you will be too!
