Black Opium Eau de Toilette

I like black opium edp,I love nuit blanche version but edt version never caught my attention just because of it's notes list.I can't imagine or love a black opium without vanilla.also I usually try to avoid blackcurrant and it happens to be pretty dominant here,more important,I believe in the sweeter the better,the heavier the better,so edt version didn't seem to be love material for me but you know,I'm very curious when it's about flankers and this brown bottle looks very eye catching so I picked up the tester and sprayed it on a paper,simply to compare it side by side with it's siblings and voila,it happened.I can hear love even before ringing my heart's bell What made me fall for BO edt was it's pear.pear was a note I never cared about but after Katy Perry meow which is a lovely combination of pear and vanilla to my nose,I started to admire a good vanilla scent with pear.edt opens with obvious similarities to edp but not as heavy.pear shines through black opium DNA giving it a sparkly fruity freshness which is very likable.I can't pick up much black current and I don't miss it.this very fresh pear-dominant stage doesn't last long and it's a pity.however pear remains as one of the most prominent notes but in a sugary,sweet form.although there's no vanilla listed here,I can easily pick it up but it's not as heavy in vanilla as edp.lack of patchouli in this version keeps it less heavy,still there's enough woods in base to anchor this sweet pear-vanilla-white floral combo.I can't detect tea or any other green notes in edt version and however it's not as heavy as edp in vanilla and coffee,it's still sweet,gourmandish and warm and unbearable in hot summer days Staying power and sillage both seem to be good,not as strong as edp but still satisfying For me this is a little lighter BO edp with a hint of Katy Perry meow naunces so no wonder I love it and am very happy to receive it as a early valentine gift.it's a love in opening and a big like in it's drydown This 1.6 oz bottle is so easy to hold in hand that it made me decide to buy nuit blanche in this size not the bigger bottle ❤❤❤❤❤ Edit: after using it for a while, it's something between like and meh for me now. I still like the opening part which is like a slightly less sweet, more fresh and fruitier version of EDP but after half an hour it dries down to a fruity shampoo kind of scent.

Man, something must've happened to BO EDT in the last couple years, bc I bought this in 2016, and the performance on this thing was/is great. It's literally about 90% the sillage and longevity of the EDP. Scent-wise, it's missing some of the warmth & depth that I love in BO EDP (mainly the vanilla), but there's something very satisfying about this. The main difference is in the beginning, where the black currant & citrus are prevalent. You don't immediately get hit with the coffee, like in the EDP. In the drydown, it becomes a brighter / more fruity floral version of the original. The interesting (and probably divisive) part is the tea note. It gives almost a saccharine sweetness to it. This could've been called "Diet Black Opium," or "Black Opium a la Fresca," and it would've made more sense. I actually didn't like this one much when I first got it. I really missed the vanilla in the EDP. But as I was wearing this, I smelt something so beautiful in the air, it took me a few min to realize it was coming from me! I just had to smell it from further away. Now when I wear this, I spray this on the back of my shirt, and I can catch that beautiful scent all the time.

on my country this parfum dont more sale :,c so im jealous from the people that really has this parfum and has the oportunity for smell <3 im remember that i smell this on january from this year, and yeah, is the first fragance when i started with all black opiums sweet , cute and very inocent fragance .... casually this supossed to be sexy more than the classic but i feel so inocent like a litle girl started with coffe with strawberrys and later feel the green tea with some jazmin and the coffe note dont feel a lot, thing that i really like it this parfum is like started with a sweet heart and later past 8 hours finally transform how soo mature smell with flowers and the sweet part dissapears, doing it more versatile and ideal from young and old womans i wish some day smell this again cuz is much better than the reformulate version(glowing) please ysl...create this version again from all citys....

Happy bday litle ...

I really love this one. The richness of the coffee, the sweetness of the blackcurrant, the woods and orange blossom, I love it all. I had tried a sample once and that was all it took. This smells so deep and heady to me, but with some fruitiness to keep it from being too overwhelming. I equate it to a dark room with the curtains drawn, except for a small portion pulled back so that a crack of light can come through. The silage is decent, nothing that will choke a room full of people, and the longevity is great. I can spray it on in the early morning and still smell it (though not quite as strongly) long into the evening. I will absolutely be purchasing more when this runs out.
