Black Opium Yves Saint Laurent 2020 Eau de Parfum Neon

Actually, I don't like shopping malls. But do you know those large, airy ones, with calm music and few people, all of whom are relaxed? Where there is ice cream and waffles and, yes, milkshakes.

With the first spray, I take a big sip of such a milkshake. Tropical-fruity, I think of mango, but it’s probably the dragon fruit. And a large portion of vanilla.
With my huge cup in hand, I stroll around. On the rim, there’s a large white flower attached, whose scent rises to my nose with every sip. Orange blossom, mixed with something else.
I pass by a perfumery, from which comes that sweet-heavy hint we all know. But I don’t go in, I just take a bit of floral and musk with me. On the other side of the aisle is a café, from which there’s also a fragrance. Over time, it becomes increasingly clear that someone has probably poured a big sip of dark-spicy coffee - or even Original Black Opium - into the cup.
Nice, I think to myself, and continue strolling, with a last bit of milkshake in hand.

I don’t like coffee, I don’t like shopping malls. But I really like this scent. It doesn’t differ much from the original for me. Vanilla, orange blossom, and what must be coffee. This one is fruitier, especially at the beginning, also a bit more synthetic, which probably bothers some. One could see it as a light version. There’s nothing neon about it, but that’s okay.
