I think he's okay
I recently received the samples of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium and Black Opium Neon.
I left them for the time being, because Yves Saint Laurent is usually too much, too heavy, too much jasmine for me. (but this is probably because I prefer softer scents).
Today, on Sunday, I thought : why not ? I only applied two splashes on the wrists because I expected a bomb that was too heavy. At first I was surprised that no bomb hit me The prelude reminds me of Jennifer Lopez Life, a fragrance I liked to wear at the time of my wedding, when I had just passed the age of 20 and had emotionally said goodbye to teen scents and turned to more "ladylike" perfumes. The top note of both is fruity, you can smell something fresh (in any case tangerine and berries). Delicious, I think.
After not so long, perhaps an hour, the heart note emerges. You can smell the jasmine quite well, which is complemented by a little bit of tart coffee. Personally I don't like coffee at all and I already mentioned the jasmine above. I can't have him in the background. Fortunately, the berries remain for quite a long time and weaken the jasmine coffee scent.
The coffee is preserved up to the base note and blends with the gentle fragrances to create a smell reminiscent of a certain chocolate. This is the one where different bars in different flavours are packed in a flat box and on the outside the French word for "thank you" is written. According to the advertising, this chocolate should be given to the postman as a Christmas present.
As a child, granny often had this chocolate at her grandmother's house, and everyone would take a bar. And I was terribly disappointed when I caught the coffee-flavored one.
Yeah, now when I sniff my wrist, that memory comes back.
The coffee is never extremely in the foreground, but always perceptible.
I think I'll give the specimen to my aunt. It's nothing to me. But it's not a bad smell if you like coffee and jasmine. It is not obtrusive, it has a beautiful top note and an elegant touch.
