Black Opium Floral Shock Yves Saint Laurent 2017
7
Juicy Black Opium
So, I will now also try my hand at a review. But where do I even start… I like Black Opium. I own the majority of the flankers (Illicit Green, Extreme, Intense, Floral Shock) and the original - and I have to say, Floral Shock is the only one that stands out to me. All the others smell absolutely identical on my skin after 1-2 hours. For some reason, that’s not the case with Floral Shock.
At first, I strongly perceive a fresh pear, yes, sometimes even a bit of the citrus notes. Over time, the scent becomes sweeter and the typical Black Opium coffee/vanilla blend emerges. BUT: Floral Shock remains consistently lighter and fresher on my skin. Although I also like the regular Black Opium, I think this one is a bit more interesting, but also lighter/fresher. It’s suitable for spring, and for those who are bold, it can also be worn in summer. In my opinion, this is the best Black Opium here.

I used to wear it exclusively in the summer and have great memories with it :) Unfortunately, I sold it at some point, but now it's on its way back to me. It's become quite expensive since it was discontinued. However, I got a decent deal considering the prices. I love it; I would describe it just like you did, spot on.

Well written. I really love the BO line too... I find the Neon to be the most distinctive. Despite the typical DNA, it feels the most unique to me. But my favorites are the Intense and Nuit Blanche. :-)

I'm totally with you on that. It's a shame it's not more well-known; I'm a big fan of it too!
