A grown-up fragrance - despite its lovely sweetness
Black Opium is a women's fragrance from the brand YSL. The fragrance may not seem particularly special or unique on paper.
The scents seem inconspicuous, but in my opinion they are very well balanced and generally smell very deep and warm, tart and sweet. I have never had such a composition in any other perfume before.
It's not that fruity, kitschy, sweet that you'd expect from many fragrances in this price range; the jasmine in particular gives off a fresh note after a while.
The vanilla and coffee notes bring an unforgettable recognition value.
I can imagine this scent being worn by a woman who has an important business meeting, but I also think this scent would be perfect for a fine dinner.
The scent doesn't smell overpowering or strong, but it still has a certain spice and a slightly powdery note, I would say.
The shelf life is very good and the silage is absolutely amazing.
I can recommend the fragrance to anyone who is looking for a serious and grown-up perfume that still smells lovely and sweet.
