Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Extreme Eau de Parfum Extreme 50ml, (Pack of 1)

Product Information

It is heavier, more complex and less suitable for daytime but I think I might prefer this to the normal one. It's such a shame that the longevity and projection on this one are very poor because I like Black Opium Extreme a lot better than the original. Initially this frag reminded me of Black Opium Intense, then morphed into Ylang-Ylang Espresso by Floral Street (but nowhere near as awful and nauseating as that). The usually pink centre is transformed into a black core, highlighting the unbridled mystery and sophistication at the heart of this fragrance.

Whether you wear it for a night out on the town or to add a little extra glamour to your everyday life, Black Opium Extreme EDP will give you a sense of confidence and elegance. Muse is a lot sweeter though throughout and has hazelnut with more body to it, but it's again, just around that same 'family' of scents. It's strong for the first 30 seconds then is very weak so great is you are looking for a subtle perfume.I have the Black Opium EDT from a handful of years ago and really love it, got it on a fall cruise and so it takes me back to that vacation. This has a similar pear/fruity sweetness to it, but slightly turned down and a lot dryer and darker feeling, like how cocoa powder is. I agree with reviews saying that this is what Black Opium critics expected from the fragrance - more mysterious, more dark, and heavier on the coffee. Below you can see the longest potential duration for storage on a device, as set when using the cookie method of storage and if there are any other methods used. The drydown is creamier and more patchouli-focused than the original, it also has more body and lasts longer - quite fitting for an extreme version, even though it's not a room filler.

For medium intensity: spray in a y-shape across your body, beginning at one shoulder and finishing at the other. When I first got it, I remember it not lasting long on my skin - like literally, there’s no dry down.

YSL Black Opium Extreme perfume begins with an adrenaline high of Coffee and Dark Chocolate that are still present in the beautiful white floral bouquet of delicate Jasmine Sambac and sweet and feminine Orange Blossom The base notes of YSL Black Opium Extreme are a departure from YSL Black Opium EDP with a rich combination of Bourbon Vanilla and skin softening Patchouli.
