Fragrance Details
YSL Black Opium is an ambery floral perfume with notes of pear, mandarin, jasmine, and orange blossom, drying down to coffee, vanilla, and patchouli. Boots describes it as: "When the unmissable energy of black coffee meets the captivating femininity of sensual jasmine. Unique blend that hits like the first sip of espresso: a rush of ego-boost. An it-fragrance for a magnetic woman."
Boots also advises: "Spray BLACK OPIUM on your pulse points as well as in the creases of your knees and elbows for a longer-lasting, stronger scent."
Customer Reviews
The perfume holds a 4.8-star rating from over 21,000 reviews. One shopper said: "One of my favorite perfumes. Definitely a head turner." Another wrote: "This is my signature fragrance! I love this perfume so much! It is perfect for every occasion. A lot of people say that it is an only winter exclusive fragrance but I find it perfect for all year round. It is warm and strong. It can last you the whole day so you don’t need to re-apply." A third added: "All I can say is WOW! This perfume is the sexiest, most amazing smelling perfume that I’ve used in a while. YSL Black Opium is definitely my new favorite."
However, not all reviews were positive. One customer commented: "I love a strong scent, this one was not for me but my mom loved it. A little floral heavy for my taste, but I love the brand, packaging and overall product." Another reviewer noted: "I first smelled Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium around six years ago, and it’s one of those fragrances I’ve never forgotten. I’ve tried countless similar perfumes and dupes over the years, but nothing has ever come close to recreating that distinctive scent."
