Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Extreme Eau de Parfum Extreme 50ml, (Pack of 1)

Product Information

For added intensity: Apply perfume directly to pulse points and hot spots (wrist, inner elbow, and lower neck).

Initially this frag reminded me of Black Opium Intense, then morphed into Ylang-Ylang Espresso by Floral Street (but nowhere near as awful and nauseating as that).

Its espresso with cacao powder and patchouli (you have to love patchouli, because its strong in it). Top notes are Coffee and Cacao; middle notes are Jasmine Sambac and Orange Blossom; base notes are Bourbon Vanilla and Patchouli.

hour later, it starts to lose quite a bit of it's sweetness and it's more of a lightly sweet vanilla with some dark richness to it. After I've finished this bottle, I'm going to look for something with similar notes but higher quality.

Only those who have tried, or fortunately still try a similar experience can understand it, assuming they love coffee ☕. opening notes are spices I guess its coffee and cacao or some kind earthy note(patchouli) then it becomes sweet not sickning sweet . So my final question on how to rate a new Black Opium flankers is: Would I replace my EDP with this flanker if I ever run out? I may have grown to enjoy it without the sweetness or even paired it with a sweeter perfume, but I enjoy the particular spice that pink pepper gives so I'm going to have to pass on this one. These fragrances are often constructed in a different manner to the traditional French Model and are formulated in one single burst.

The more I spray this the more it reminds me of Scandal, the dry down is definitely reminiscent of Scandal. When it dries down, the original DNA is there to a very large extent, but it smells like real raw coffee beans mixed with soft powdery yet creamy vanilla. With a great selection of the latest in beauty, ladies fashion, menswear, children’s toys and clothing, furniture, home and cookware, Morleys has everything you need all under one roof. Experience the Eau de Parfum Extreme, a fearless evolution of Black Opium's original captivating floral gourmand scent.It's wearable but i probably won't be getting a full bottle once i burn through my 10ml travel bottle. But I definitely get a white floral and sweet vanilla base typical for feminine designer fragrances from this. I get a blast of coffee for about 10 seconds which I didn't mind as I quite like coffee notes, then it fades into a strong, almost generic perfume-y smell with a hint of a licorice/aniseed smell?

To me the extreme version smells like a bar of dark chocolate with chili, warming, slightly bitter, dry and quite festive. This one is deeper and more sophisticated than the original (which can lean more youthful and playful).
