YSL Black Opium

Tuesday, 14 October 2014


Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium perfume is all the rage right now. I've already seen heaps of bloggers talking about it, and being in the market for a new perfume myself, decided to go and give it a sniff. BEST DECISION EVER.

Now I'm not great at describing scents, so ill keep it simple. It is described to have notes of black coffee, white florals and vanilla, with the floral being the strongest in my opinion, yet in no way is it heavy and overpowering. I personally can't really detect the hint of black coffee, but there is the subtle vanilla scent that makes this perfume wonderfully rich and inviting. I find it to be quite a seductive smelling perfume, yet still light enough to wear during the day (which I have been doing non stop since buying it!)

The packaging as I'm sure you'll agree is gorgeous; a black glittery bottle with a pink transparent circle through the centre to easily how much you have left. Even the box is lovely, again with black glitter and pale pink metallic edges, and sits on my desk looking beautiful.
