I'm over 3 years late & I went to Sephora yesterday & made a few purchases. For lack of men samples the cast -memeber gave me a sample. Something told me to try it on my hand & I almost lost it after I did! This fragrance is awesome! THAT'S why I'm glad you're in the community Joy & I love your nose!
You're a joy to listen to and watch, Joy. I regret not checking Black Opium out years ago. I'm definitely going out to test this within the next two weeks. Thanks, Joy. 👌
Nice review . . . I sport the EDP version for Weddings that I Chauffeur during the Winter months . . . especially for the younger crowd ! I also use the EDT version during the cooler Spring months for high end special events, as it has a Greener accord that suits that time of the year better than the EDP. It's very important for me to go light on the trigger with both, as most of these events and special occasions are usually of the close encounter variety ! :)
Lol You kissed the bottle and I don’t blame you I’m all about my Perfumes as well Especially this one. The Coffee and Vanilla scent is out of this world. I especially Love it for Fall time..
I did recently get a bottle of this. I am in agreement with you. This can do wonders for whoever wears it, be it men, or women. I really don't pay too much attention to the marketing aspect of it. What I look at is what the scent does for me. This scent, it is versatile, and I am going to reach for it the most often.. It definitely boosts my mood when I wear this. This is good enough that I decided to order some backup bottles. Let's put it this way, I own many different scents. Most of them, oriented towards men. Then others, I have crossed to the other side for, such as this one. This is by far a favorite of mine, and will be for years to come. Another one that is a tops favorite is Hawas. That's a different type of scent as opposed to this one, but both are unarguably, top notch.
Would you say it’s obviously feminine? I wear black orchid and Alien EDP but I feel very strongly it’s unisex and they’re my favorite, but this video makes me want to go out and try it. I just don’t want to wear it if I’m going to be called out everywhere I go lol
I just bought this in a gift set for my God daughter for Christmas 🎄. I love the smell of this one. Question: did you buy this for yourself, or for your wife/girlfriend??
Thank you Joy. I did see the BFL and Redolessence review. This is a blindbuy for one of my family members haha. I was debating if I should get Opium or this flanker. But you speak very highly of this scent and so did Steven if I remember.
hahahahaha it can take a pause...but the madness will never stop ;) and yes do sniff it at least once...such a pretty fragrances.girls who live dangerously and born free...they would LOVE this :) i like this over my other gourmands by far :)
Thank you for this. I just bought ysl black opium off e bay for $40 and I am worried it may be a take for that price. When it arrives I will compare. I didn't want to pay $145 for it at store but now may be ripped off lol
It's not that expensive here in Europe I mean sure it is on high street, but I got 150ml bottle for 70 euros 100% legit big discounter. Decided to buy after testing a sample I was surprised that it really is not that much "feminine". I agree it's in many ways a similar scent to Dior Homme Intense, so why we men should even bother about those sex labels? ;)
really?wow...i got like 8 hours in the hot season...ofcourse not when its so humid but during the rainy days and nights, im sure it will push more towards 14 hours during our winter time which is lovely, projects like bomb here...my sis asked who is wearing a lady;s perfume...i was like its me...she is like oh ok..its feminine more like but its very beautiful and strong. i guess it works differently on different countries brother...but i am in love with this :) la nuit i get about 4 hours on the cold winter nights but i dont mind respraying , coz i get those sort of attention from female crowd..like hey goodfella how u doing? lol such a flirt.mine is 2014 bottle, which year batch are you using brother?
you are wrong about the sizes and prices, it comes in a 30 ML 1.0 oz 69$ USD, 50 ML 1.7 OZ 91$ USD, 90 ML 3.0 OZ 118$ USD and (NOW) a 150 ML 5.0 OZ bottle for 145$ USD i am thinking that one girl that you mentioned got a gift set or ripped off because thats not the right price even after tax still wouldn't amount to that much if she has a 3 oz.

Great review .....OK to wear on a hot tropical night.?
i smelled this in the store yesterday and was impressed i need to go back and spray myself with it
You mentioned you only spray 3 spritz, how is the projection? I like it to be atleast an arm length projection.
Great review man! Great perfume! Black Opium is pure narcotic! I am a man and I love to use this masterpiece on my skin!
thanks for reassuring me. Im a guy and i love it. I was confused when i found out its for women
Nice review!
I know what you mean at 12:48, when I smell it on my wrist I'm just like ahhhhhhhhh and I melt.
Love from Kashmir . Today I got the bottle. ♥️
under 20 minutes!! hahaha.. thx for the nice review bro.. Happy Fasting bro 🙏
Do you own opium pour homme? One of my favorites!
This is not just a perfume it's Andromeda galaxy locked in a bottle ❤️
Good review bro
I just bought this in a gift set for my God daughter for Christmas 🎄. I love the smell of this one. Question: did you buy this for yourself, or for your wife/girlfriend??
I want it but I heard on TH-cam that it doesn't last long 😔

I hope one day I come find you in Bangladesh and we take a perfume journey together. We will both wear pink and talk notes forever.😍
This is my wife's Signature Scent
Really? Black Opium. Maybe I need to buy it! But wait! I thought I was going to stop buying frags.......
hahahahaha it can take a pause...but the madness will never stop ;) and yes do sniff it at least once...such a pretty fragrances.girls who live dangerously and born free...they would LOVE this :) i like this over my other gourmands by far :)
I see the normal Opium quite regularly, have your nose to it ?
Thank you for this.
I just bought ysl black opium off e bay for $40 and I am worried it may be a take for that price. When it arrives I will compare.
I didn't want to pay $145 for it at store but now may be ripped off lol
Any updates?
What are the similar fragrances to black opium?
Munaf Bond katy perry killer queen.
This fragrance is reminiscent of Flower Bomb and Jimmy Choo
can it be worn by a young guy in his 20s ??

A nice fragrance, but I much prefer Black Opium Nuit Blanche. Personal taste.
this unisex?
Nice smell, but lasts and projects not so good as it could, considering the price tag. Same story with La Nuit de L'Homme)

My wife wears Black Opium (2016 release), and it lasts about 4 or 5 hours, then it becomes a skin scent with no sillage, unfortunately.
