YSL's Black Opium perfume, a classic fragrance beloved for its sweet, sultry, and gourmand scent, is currently available with a 50% discount at LookFantastic. The 150ml bottle, typically priced at £177, is now reduced to £88 for a limited time of one week only.
Why Black Opium Is So Popular
The fragrance's popularity stems from its unique blend of black coffee, vanilla, and soft florals, creating a well-balanced scent suitable for both day and night. The original version, designed to be feminine and sensual, comes in a glittering black bottle inspired by a sequin gown, ideal for glamorous evenings.
Scent Notes
The floral gourmand perfume opens with top notes of pear accord and mandarin essence. Heart notes of vanilla, orange blossom, and white flowers provide a sweet floral aroma, while deeper base notes of black coffee accord, cedarwood essence, white musk, and patchouli add earthiness.
How to Wear Black Opium
For daytime wear, spray a cloud over your head and shoulders for a lighter intensity. For a medium intensity, spray in a Y-shape across your body. For evenings, apply directly to pulse points to let the fragrance react with body heat and create a stronger scent.
Shopper Reviews
Shoppers have praised Black Opium, with one calling it their favourite perfume of all time. Another described it as warm, sweet, and long-lasting with coffee and vanilla notes that smell rich and elegant without being overpowering.
