Yves Saint Laurent's 'best' perfume is now 30% off on LookFantastic. Black Opium would usually cost £69 for a 30ml bottle but has dropped down to £48.30.
It opens up with notes of pear, pink pepper and orange blossom before rounding out with a heart of coffee, jasmine, bitter almond and liquorice. The base is a grounding blend of vanilla, patchouli, cashmere wood and cedar.
It was crafted by four talented perfumers Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp and Honorine Blanc. They've all worked on many highly favoured perfumes including Le Labo's Another 13, By the Fireplace by Maison Martin Margiela, the brand Akro and Phlur's Soft Spot respectively.
Black Opium has pulled in an average rating of 4.8 out of 5. It's been dubbed a 'show stopper' with one happy reviewer saying: "The best in my shelf. And the perfect go to for a date night/dinner night with your partner. The smell is mesmerising. The waiter walked past and turned around to ask what I was wearing. So definitely a show stopper perfume. Love it. My best purchase yet on a perfume."
One shopper insisted the bottle lasts a full year with daily use, writing: "I absolutely love this scent, it is my favourite perfume and is so worth the money. My last bottle lasted me over a year and that was using it every day, as you do not need to overspray."
Not everyone agrees with how long it lasts, one shopper said: "Doesn't last that long on my skin, just a few hours before I need to reapply. Such a lovely smell though. Expensive considering longevity."

Now Ben has appeared to take yet another dig at former fiance and TV star Vanessa while on his honeymoon with his new wife. The singer celebrated his wife's 30th birthday and posted a video of the pair enjoying a drink on a picturesque terrace, where he filmed Vanessa before turning the camera himself. When the camera was on him, it showed him wearing a black cap with "2.0" embroidered on the front, which could be a dig at his former fiance by referring to his wife as his new Vanessa. Ben captioned the post: "Jay-Z's quote is, 'Men lie, women lie, but numbers don't.' It is not the first time Ben seemed to take a swipe at Vanessa Feltz and following his recent wedding at a Cumbria castle, told on Instagram how his nuptials were 'a new beginning' and added: "I wasted 17 years of my life." He also opened up on his wedding, ahead of his big day. Ben told MailOnline: "I have always wanted to be married since I was seven years old. I always wanted to be with someone who would take my surname. "I almost gave up on marriage, thinking there wasn't a lady that would walk down the aisle for me. "I can't believe the day has come, it is a dream come true. It feels like I've been waiting for this moment all my life. Inside Ben Ofeodu's celeb-packed wedding reception as he mentions ex Vanessa Feltz in his groom's speech "This is the finale of the chapter that was 17 years of my life."

The This Morning segment presenter spoke of her 'shock' and 'heartbreak' over the singer's suspected infidelity at the time. Amid a string of allegations that Ben cheated with a number of women, Vanessa was horrified to discover his 'double life'. It was understood she discovered a trail of emails and social media messages that led her to uncover the infidelity.

Ben tells OK! years later: 'My first impression of you Feltzy was cheeky, very very cheeky and very very quick-witted." 2016 The pair get engaged in December in Ireland after a whirlwind romance. Ben pulls out all the stops, covering their hotel bed in red roses. 2020 Ben teases on Loose Women that a ceremony is imminent. He says: "I think we'll be making an announcement very, very soon. 2022 The stance changes significantly. Vanessa tells OK!: "I do think 'never say never', but I certainly haven't made any plans for a wedding and I think we're quite happy this way." 2023 Shocked Vanessa announces the relationship is over, heartbroken by Ben's infidelity. She told fans of her TalkTV drive time show that despite the "sadness" and "shock", she wouldn't let it get her down. Vanessa said: "People who have been reading about my private life over the weekend will know that my 16-year relationship has come to an end. "I have said, I'm very sad. I'm very shocked, but I am going to soldier forth. I hope to rise like a phoenix from the ashes and all of that." The TV presenter revealed a dramatic two stone weight loss after the painful break-up.

Beautiful Croatian hilltop village that was used as a dupe for city of Nottingham in the Robin Hood movie
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ON the beautiful Istria peninsula is a tiny cobbled village that has doubled as the UK city of Nottingham. An hour away from the Croatian city of Pula is the pretty village of Završje, it sits on a hilltop, has winding streets and stone houses with terracotta rooftops. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Završje sits on a hilltop on the Istria peninsula Credit: Alamy 5 The village appeared in the 2018 adaptation of Robin Hood Credit: Alamy There are plenty of pretty hidden gems on the Istria peninsula, one of them being the Završje. The village is tiny, with the last population consensus in 2021 revealing that just 39 people lived there. More people might have seen it than first thought though, as in 2018 it appeared in a blockbuster movie. Završje stood in for 12th century Nottingham in the Robin Hood film starring Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx and Eve Hewson. The town's medieval look made it the ideal backdrop for the movie's scenes and were used for the end battle between Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham. Završje has its very own leaning tower - the church tower is 22 metres tall and leans about 40cm because of the unstable ground it was built on. Once you've had a walk around the tiny village, there's plenty more to do in Istria - the heart-shaped peninsula boasts incredible beaches, cities and historical sites. Its Ancient Roman buildings have led to many comparisons with Italy, and the city of Pula's Roman amphitheatre is the sixth largest in the world. It's also one of the best-preserved in the world with its outer walls and four side towers mostly intact. Tickets for entry to the Arena can be purchased at the main entrance - adults are €10 (£8.64) and students are €5 (£4.32). The sun-soaked Croatian island that's a secret a celeb hot spot 5 Pula's Roman amphitheatre is the sixth largest in the world Credit: Alamy 5 There are plenty of beautiful beaches on the peninsula Credit: Getty The best beaches on Tripadvisor in Istria include Fazana Beach, Cuvi Beach and Mulini Beach. One of the top attractions is the Punta Kamenjak National Park where you can go swimming and snorkelling. Essential spots to see include the Old Town, Baredine Cave, Port of Rovinj and Church of St Euphemia. Istria is also home to Croatia's largest waterpark Aquapark Porec Aquacolors. It boasts several huge waterslides, including the Freefall, a 48-metre long drop and Turbolance which features a steep drop, reverses and a splash pool, all while taking "crazy photos" of riders. However, there are also calmer rides for youngsters including family rafting slides. The park has a TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Award due to the number of positive ratings it has received. One visitor wrote: "Awesome place, so much fun and adrenaline. Would come again, definitely! Make sure you arrive early because there is so many slides you will want to try." Another person added: "The children's area was amazing! Our kids loved it!" You can fly direct from the UK to Pula Airport in just over two hours. Flights are with easyJet and Ryanair and start from £31. Discover more on Croatia including its largest island which has hilltop towns, sandy beaches and it's own airport.
