There are a few perfumes that match the icon status universally adored quite like YSL's Black Opium. With its sweet, seductive and gourmand aroma, the perfume has become a staple in any fragrance enthusiast's collection, and has been the base inspiration for a range of spin-offs, all of which have been equally well-received.

However, this designer scent often comes with a hefty price tag, with a 150ml bottle of the original version typically costing 177. But now, LookFantastic shoppers can bag a 30% discount on the perfume, reducing it to 123.90.

YSL's Black Opium is such a hit thanks to its unique and well-balanced blend of black coffee, vanilla and soft florals, making it a versatile perfume suitable for both day and night wear. This original version was crafted to be feminine and sensual, and comes in a sparkling black bottle inspired by a sequin gown, perfect for those glitzy nights out.

The floral gourmand scent opens with top notes of pear accord and mandarin essence, followed by heart notes of vanilla, orange blossom and white flowers for that sweet, floral aroma. It concludes with deeper, earthier notes of black coffee accord, cedarwood essence, white musk and patchouli.

Versatile enough for daytime and evening wear, a lighter intensity is best for the day and can be crafted by creating a cloud above the head and shoulders, allowing it to settle gently onto its user. For a more moderate intensity scent, apply it in a Y-shape across the body, while for evening occasions, turn up the dial by spritzing directly onto pulse points.

Product Description

The Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is currently on sale at Lookfantastic.

This allows the Black Opium to respond to the body's warmth and produce a more potent aroma, reports the Mirror. Numerous LookFantastic customers have sung the praises of YSL's Black Opium too, with one declaring it's: "My favourite perfume of all time."

Another wrote: "I really like this perfume. The scent is warm, sweet and lasts a long time on my skin. It feels perfect for evenings or special occasions. The coffee and vanilla notes make it smell rich and elegant without being too strong."

While most have loved the scent, some people weren't quite as enamoured, with one lower-rated review reading: "I found it to be too earthly and spicy for my daily usage. Not my kind of perfume, really."

Someone else echoed: "Smells really strong and smoky. Would recommend to people who like strong fragrances."
