Black Opium Yves Saint Laurent 2024 Eau de Parfum Glitter

A glittering bottle with a pink center... which woman's heart doesn't beat a little faster? The "normal" Black Opium was too powdery, too bland, too interchangeable for me, so I was curious about the new fragrance in the line. On paper, it smelled good, but it reminded me very strongly of the Code femme scents from Armani. Too strong. I became skeptical, but I wanted to give the fragrance a chance; I wanted to like it so much. A single spray on my skin... 20 minutes waiting... and the most intrusive, synthetic sweetness mixed in with the Code femme from back then. As if the fragrance were screaming: I'm here!! I feel like I applied a bit of Code femme and then rolled around in a cotton candy pot at the fair. Multiple times. Over and over again. In the pink, the turquoise, and then in all the other colors that were still on the shelf. Once home, I try everything to get the scent off my skin, but unfortunately... it has, of course, very good longevity and withstands all the trials. So we have to endure one more night together. There won't be another date for us.
