Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Extreme Eau de Parfum Extreme 50ml, (Pack of 1)

Product Information

It's one of those scents with DNA that nods to beautiful rooted memories and associations so no chance of tainting it yet.

While I consider this to be very sexy because makes me picture going for a nightcap after a date that is going so well that you don’t want it to end, I could easily picture this as a daytime scent, too. For added intensity: Apply perfume directly to pulse points and hot spots (wrist, inner elbow, and lower neck). Let yourself be seduced by its sensual notes and create an unforgettable scent experience that will leave a lasting impression. I was hoping that this version would be less floral and more coffee/cocoa, but it smells very similar to the original. The boozy vanilla doesn’t take long to appear, which is one of the main reasons I chose to try this.This morning, I did just that - properly moisturized, and layered with both BBW Coffee and Whiskey as well as Midnight Amber Glow body cream and FFM. I really don't dislike this flanker at all, I would definitely enjoy it if I were to receive it as a gift and could easily see myself wearing this on a daily basis. Overall, I love this and already have it on my “next to purchase full bottle” list (unless I try and find something better before then).

Whether you wear it for a night out on the town or to add a little extra glamour to your everyday life, Black Opium Extreme EDP will give you a sense of confidence and elegance. I would consider a bottle if my boyfriend didn't hate it cause unfortunately we work together so my chance to wear it would be rare.

opening notes are spices I guess its coffee and cacao or some kind earthy note(patchouli) then it becomes sweet not sickning sweet .

I agree with reviews saying that this is what Black Opium critics expected from the fragrance - more mysterious, more dark, and heavier on the coffee. Black Opium Extreme, I think, should be excellent for everyone, who seek dark, sensual fragrance without tons of vanilla or gourmand notes which seems to be everywhere now, so I'm really really happy with this reaveal of Black Opium which was dissapointed for me as too juvenile and simply 'nice' as Flowerbomb flanker for teenagers. i agree with SailorV in that the "extreme" element in this perfume doesn't mean that it's a room filler or a beast mode fragrance, but more in the sense of that BO extreme is richer and deeper - especially in the dry down. As the scent sets in your skin, a rich cacao dances along the coffee while the orange blossom and patchouli are always there in the background being commanded by the Vanilla.

If I wanted to repurchase Black Opium I would consider this flanker but I do think Nuit Blanche is the best of all. Instead, the cacao and coffee come through together- almost like you’re drinking a mocha latte while wearing perfume. These mellow to reveal luminous and unashamedly ultra-white flowers of Jasmine Sambac and Orange Blossom, set against a powerful base of sweet, earthy Patchouli and lashings of heady Vanilla. Intense and Long-Lasting: Black Opium Eau de Parfum Extreme takes the original captivating floral gourmand scent to the next level with extra-black coffee and ultra-white flowers. And not in a negative way either, the gourmand aspects of Extreme have a real voice whereas they were drowned in a sea of vanilla and florals in the OG.
