Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Review- Seductively Good
Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium perfume is one of the most popular scents ever released; so popular that it sold over 10 million bottles in less than two years after its release. With such widespread appeal—and success—it comes as no surprise why people are still clamoring to purchase it today. What may be surprising though, is how many different ways the average person uses this signature scent. While some like to keep things simple, others like to mix things up and experiment with new combinations.
Whether you're going on a date or heading out to meet friends for drinks, everyone wants something they feel comfortable wearing. That being said, we all have our own preferences when it comes to choosing a scent, which means that while some may prefer to wear a more traditional cologne, others might be more inclined to pick something lighter—like a body spray or perfume.
When To Wear Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium
Black Opium is perfect for a variety of occasions because it can be worn both day and night; it tends to work better at nighttime. In fact, the fragrance notes themselves are known to enhance relaxation, confidence, and energy levels. If you need to look your best before a big meeting or date, then this is definitely a good choice to consider.
However, it works just fine for daytime use as well. For example, if you've got a busy workday ahead of you and know you won't be spending time outside the office until later in the evening (or even overnight), then Black Opium is an excellent option.
Projection
The projection of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is quite good; about 4 inches when sprayed lightly onto skin. When used heavily, the fragrance can reach up to 6-8 inches—which is far greater than the majority of perfumes available today.
As a result, this perfume is ideal for anyone wanting maximum coverage from a single application. Even if you don't like to apply too much perfume at once, you should find that using a light mist will help cover your entire body without being overwhelming.
What does Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Smell Like
Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium perfume opens with notes Pear, Pink Pepper, and Orange Blossom; middle notes are Coffee, Jasmine, Bitter Almond, and Licorice; base notes are Vanilla, Patchouli, Cedar and Cashmere Wood. The overall effect is extremely sensual—a combination that makes Black Opium a favorite among many women who want to exude an air of mystery and seduction.
It's no wonder that this classic perfume has been re-released multiple times since its original debut in 1992. Of course, it isn't just guys who love Black Opium either. Women seem to like this fragrance almost as much as their male counterparts—and perhaps even more so.
