Description

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. Only those who have tried, or fortunately still try a similar experience can understand it, assuming they love coffee ☕. Its espresso with cacao powder and patchouli (you have to love patchouli, because its strong in it). This flanker opens with a not too strong cacao, but it is prominent enough to be noticeable and make a difference. Bottle: A lavish take on our original and iconic Black Opium bottle – same black, same glitter, but taken to the extreme.

Although my nose can’t discern the cacao from the coffee, it does smell like a chocolate coffee drink.Sometimes the bitterness is not so overwhelming and you get to enjoy a mellow combination of vanilla, coffee and cacao. Great alternative to the original Black Opium if you're into chocolate and looking for something deeper.

YSL Beauty mixes ingredients and proportions, constantly re-interpreting Black Opium’s coffee signature. Imagine spritzing on a slightly gourmand vanilla that’s mixed with just enough patchouli to make it smell like a grown woman’s perfume. Was not disappointed at all by the scent, because it is darker more like a ristretto and not a latte, but the performance is WEAK!Projection has gone down to about 1" from my skin, but still some sillage and light projection a bit beyond that. the original was like venti-sized sugary caramel machiatto with a big bouquet of gorgeous white florals by it's side. To me the extreme version smells like a bar of dark chocolate with chili, warming, slightly bitter, dry and quite festive. 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.

The Jasmine starts to shine through and it dries down into pure pleasure, not for the faint hearted.

This one opens with a burst of coffee and cacao which smells so good and more gourmand and sweeter than the original. Although the name extreme suggests it’s going to be a bomb, it’s a subtle fragrance, tends to stay close to skin but lasts all day there, only to please you.

Agree with Duskfall below, and honestly thing it’s a great fragrance, but veers a tad too much away from the original. The more I smell this it does smell like the combination of a bad coffee candle type perfume and Ax body spray combined. This scent is smooth, perfectly blended, you've got that black demonish coffee (thanks again for not adding something milky or gourmandy! As far as the longevity I’m not sure, but I am wearing all this week to test it out but I love smelling my wrist is this creamy chocolate vanilla decadence. It did get praised by a male friend to the point that he almost lost his mind inside the car but it really doesn't matter if I don't enjoy it on me myself.
