Have you ever woken up in the morning and just had the urge to rock the 'I may wear cute pastel clothes although I will blind you if you touch me without asking' look? Me too. The new Yves Saint Laurent perfume Black Opium reminds me exactly of this. Despite having the initial sweet vanilla jasmine notes, you soon after get a hit of a mild coffee aroma. It may sound like the two would clash, but they honestly are a match made it heaven. Other notes include pear, pink pepper, orange blossum, cedar and patchouli. I especially liked that it deepens on the skin as well, I think that this gives it a certain quality to it.
To be honest, the bottle absolutely sold me before I hunted it down in the store. The textures and material that it has gives it a luxurious feel to it, which I feel is so important for a designer perfume. I mean just look at it, as if it wouldn't make any side table look cute.
As you can tell, I'm absolutely in love with this new release. I'm so excited to try this out more and hopefully it'll be my new everyday scent. If you're looking to invest in a new perfume that screams sophistication, elegance and fierceness, which is exactly what I look for in a fragrance, this is the one for you. I can't describe it any more than to say that it makes me feel like I can maybe (and hopefully) skip every second step on a staircase. Obviously the best feeling.
The packaging is just amazing and so worth it :D Great review.
