Shopper Reactions
YSL's Black Opium Over Red Eau De Parfum remains popular on the Boots website. One shopper said: "Amazing, luxurious and smells divine! This scent is my all-time favourite." Another added: "This scent is similar to the regular Black Opium, but the cherry adds a fun twist. I get compliments on it all the time."
A third wrote: "I have fallen in love hard and fast with this perfume. I've always been a fan of the original YSL Black Opium, and this takes the classic scent to a new level."
However, some shoppers raised concerns about longevity, with one saying they "can't smell it anymore after 10 minutes" and another claiming: "I love cherry and the initial smell is lovely, but it just doesn't last like the original Black Opium."
