Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum

This was a blind buy, so I sprayed lightly at home before wearing it outside. Projection is moderate, which I actually prefer for office days. I already sent the link to a friend who asked about it.

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum was supposed to be a casual daily bottle for me. I like that it feels clean rather than sugary or heavy. I would rather spend this amount here than overuse my designer bottle.

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 the next evening during wear 2, and the scent felt more natural on fabric.

I ordered Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum as a possible gift, then tested it myself to be safe. The scent does not smell like a flat copy; it has a beginning, middle and finish. Customer service also answered quickly, which made the order feel safer. It feels close to the boutique mood without trying to shout across the room.

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 the next evening during wear 4, and it remained comfortable up close.
