Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum Over Red

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum Over Red was supposed to be a casual daily bottle for me. Projection is moderate, which I actually prefer for office days. The overall feeling is polished, practical and easy to wear.

I waited until the second wear before reviewing Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum Over Red. The Coffee accord, Madagascar vanilla infusion dry-down is tidy and does not turn sour on my clothes. The seller helped me choose without pushing the most popular option. I would rather spend this amount here than overuse my designer bottle.

This was a blind buy, so I sprayed lightly at home before wearing it outside. For this price, the balance between scent, bottle and service is honestly solid. The small sample in the parcel was a nice extra touch.

The fragrance itself was fine, but the courier crushed the outer box and one cap arrived cracked. The seller arranged a replacement quickly, so the low score is for delivery. I also checked it before going out during wear 3, and the dry-down stayed tidy.

The outer box arrived deformed, so it was not suitable as a gift. After-sales handled it quickly, but the shipping part affected my rating. I also checked it on a paper strip during wear 2, and I liked it more after it settled.
