Mediocrity made by L'Oréal - really not worth it
"Black Opium" - a new scent by YSL? It would be better to openly declare on the package that it's a product by L'Oreal. The marketing people have tried very hard to make the most of a legend, but the result is a flanker which smells like a cross of "La Vie est belle", "Flowerbomb" and "Si" with a touch of coffee. Mediocrity, here you come. The bottle is from cheap-looking plastic and doesn't impress me much. Staying-power is good, but that's the only positive thing I have to say about this kind of horror from France. A loud, coarse and chemical scent capable of turning me into a perfume-hater.

And I even don't smell the coffee in here. It could be with a smaller price tag and with a lot of less brand heritage and renown, an offering from one of the 'newer' celebrities (without dismissing the latter).

I agree with Denoula and Gold as well.I own LVEB and Si EDP and EDT and they are in the same vein.

I totally agree, to me it has nothing to do with Opium, it's more like one of those artificial berry jam drugstore celebrity scents. Huge disappointment!

Wow! And yet they got four accomplished noses to sign off on it. Maybe they should have hired just one of them and spent the extra money on better ingredients!
