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."

This classic scent has made itself a shelf staple
It is worth keeping in mind that the longevity of a scent is often impacted by the application. We would always recommend applying a perfume to freshly moisturised skin, ideally shorter after washing.

It's a perfect for a special occasion, on a date night or any time you wish to be remembered. Have already recommended it and will buy it again."
