YSL Black Opium Perfume Price in Kenya

The name is spot on because there's just something intoxicating and addictive about Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent. It's truly an opioid even though it doesn't contain opium. Perhaps it's the coffee note that dominates it. Whatever it's, this is one fix you will crave when it's cold.

YSL Black Opium Review

What Does Black Opium Smell Like?

Black Opium smells like a sweet and creamy vanilla coffee. It's a yummy smell and the scent is warm and comforting. Like you're wrapped in a cozy blanket when it's frigid or stormy outside. The scent is alluring and will make you feel sexy while also drawing compliments from others.

How Long Does Black Opium Last?

There's something about Black Opium (the name, the dark bottle perhaps) that makes one assume it to be a potent and long lasting fragrance. Well, this it isn't. It lingers 5 to 6 hours at best with arm length sillage. No complaints in the compliments department though. This is a known compliments getter.

When and Where to Wear It?

Warm and sexy, YSL Black Opium is a night fragrance but it also works well on a cold day. It's on the heavy side for when it's bright and sunny though. The scent is youthful yet mature, great for women of all ages.

Wrap Up: Is Black Opium Worth the Money?

Black Opium is a gorgeous night time and cold weather perfume. It smells delicious, has a cozy aura, and attracts compliments. The only downside is that the staying and projection power are only average, especially when you take into account the high price point.
