Boots Shoppers Snap Up Half-Price Luxury Fragrance
Black Friday has unleashed a wave of incredible beauty bargains, and Boots is leading the charge with a standout offer on a coveted perfume. Shoppers are rushing to get their hands on Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium Eau de Parfum Over Red, which has been slashed to an astonishing £49 from its original price of £105. This represents a massive £56 saving for fragrance enthusiasts.
What Makes This Scent So Special?
This particular fragrance offers a fruity, cherry-infused twist on the iconic original Black Opium. The scent profile is a decadent blend of juicy cherry and creamy vanilla, creating a gourmand, dessert-like aroma. It is expertly lifted with notes of jasmine and orange blossom for brightness, while the signature dark coffee note provides the deep, addictive edge that fans of the line know and love.
The perfume comes presented in a sophisticated deep red and black bottle, adding a sultry edge to any dressing table. Beyond the appealing discount and beautiful packaging, the fragrance has earned rave reviews for its impressive longevity, with many users confirming it lasts all day.
Shopper Reviews and Alternative Deals
The scent has garnered an impressive 4.7-star rating from satisfied customers. One enthusiastic shopper shared, "I love YSL Black Opium, and I wanted to try Black Opium over Red. It smells divine, with a subtle hint of cherry." They added, "I have received some nice compliments when I've worn it. I ended up buying two bottles!"
Another reviewer echoed the sentiment, stating, "No matter where I go, I always have people stopping me and asking what I am wearing because it's absolutely beautiful." While the majority of feedback is glowing, a small minority noted that the cherry version did not last as long on their skin as the original Black Opium, which is also currently on offer at Boots for £77.60, down from £97.
For those looking beyond Boots, other retailers like LookFantastic and Cult Beauty are also running substantial Black Friday perfume deals on brands including Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, and Burberry.
