I’ve been carrying this everywhere since I got it
I honestly didn’t expect to fall in love with this perfume oil the way I have. As someone who’s worn the original YSL Black Opium for years, I was a little skeptical about how close an “inspired” version could come—but wow, this is spot on. From the very first application, it hits you with that familiar blend of warm vanilla, soft florals, and that slightly mysterious coffee note that makes Black Opium so iconic.
The best part? It’s oil-based, so it actually lasts longer than the spray. I put it on my wrists and behind my ears in the morning, and I’m still catching hints of it well into the evening. It doesn’t dry out the skin or fade away quickly like alcohol-based perfumes sometimes do. It melts into your skin and evolves beautifully over the day.
Let’s talk about the bottle: it’s a sleek, minimal roll-on that looks gorgeous on my vanity, but it’s also super practical. At just 10ml, it’s the perfect travel companion—I take it everywhere. Whether it’s in my everyday tote or my tiniest evening clutch, it fits without fuss. The rollerball applies just the right amount without any spills or waste.
Delivery was fast and smooth. The package came neatly wrapped with no leakage, and even included a thank-you card, which was a lovely personal touch. Customer service was excellent—quick replies, and they really seemed to care about making sure I was happy with the order.
Honestly, for the price and quality, this is an absolute steal. I’ve already recommended it to two friends who thought I was wearing the designer version. If you’re a fan of YSL’s Black Opium or just love warm, sensual scents with great staying power, do yourself a favour and try this out. I’ll definitely be stocking up.

Subtle but sexy scent
Scent was great, but mine leaked a bit
