It’s safe to say that YSL’s Black Opium isn’t the first perfume to feature amber as its primary note, but it is one of the better ones. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that it’s one of the best in its class thanks to its complex bouquet and woody vanilla dry-down. So if you like your perfumes with a bit of spice, or you just want something to add some sophistication to your collection, then this could be your new signature scent. Here’s the full review!
