Hope 2018 is treating you all very good. You should all know how much I love my perfumes. So the fact that my first review post for 2018 is all about perfumes should not surprise you. I had the great opportunity to try out YSL Black Opium and Acqua Di Parma Iris Nobile some days ago. And I knew I had to blog about them. They are definitely worth trying. Keep reading to know why.
YSL Black Opium £50.50 – £91
I have heard a lot of good things about YSL Black Opium prior to trying it out for myself. So I expected it to be amazing, and it did not disappoint. This perfume was more than amazing.
Discover Black Opium, the new feminine fragrance by Yves Saint Laurent – new glam rock fragrance full of mystery and energy. An addictive gourmand floral with notes of: Black Coffee – for a shot of adrenaline; White Florals – to instantly seduce; and Vanilla – for sweetness and sensuality.
PROS
- I adore the sensual fragrance. It smells divine.
- The bottle is so beautiful.
- It is a long-lasting fragrance, stays on all day.
- I like the fact that it is not too strong.
CONS
None.
Acqua Di Parma Iris Nobile Eau de Parfum £84 – £115
I have always wanted to try Acqua Di Parma Iris Nobile. So I grabbed the opportunity to try it some days ago. It is a lovely fragrance.
A long-lasting fragrance, Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile eau de parfum has top notes of iris and star anise; middle notes of ylang ylang and oakmoss and base notes of iris root, vanilla and amber.
PROS
- I am so in love with the distinct fresh scent. It smells so good.
- This fragrance stays on all day and even the next day.
- The bottle is so chic and pretty. I adore it.
CONS
None.
Glad you like them both! The black opium bottle is so glam!
It is a very glam bottle.
I’ve yet to try the Black Opium scent – i’ve heard much about it!
You should try it. It smells amazing.
My go to has always been Opium so when YSL bought Opium black out I couldn’t wait try it. I actually bought it on the plane going on holiday as it was in the airline’s brochure.
Like you I love it. I can also smell an aroma of woody forrest along with the coffee which is divine. Your right-it is rock chick
It is an amazing fragrance. They both are.
I have had a sniff of both and definitely loved them, glad you love them too.
Yea they smell divine.
YSL’s Opium was my mum’s favourite. I’m afraid I prefer eau de toilette than perfume. Loving your choices though 🙂
Thanks 😊
Oooh I will have to check these out. The bottle for the black opium looks so glam.
Yea it does.
Out of the two choices I love the packaging of the black opium. The scent sounds gorgeous too x
Yea they are both amazing x
I love black opium. It is my 2017 fave.
Me too!
I would never have thought to have tried these but I am intrigued now by your descriptions so may hunt them down next time I am due a new smell
Oh cool. Pls do. Thanks for reading.
The packaging looks lovely. I love a nice fresh scent. My favourite perfume will probably always be Marc Jacobs Daisy!
I love Marc Jacobs Daisy too!
Very beautiful fragrances and very well described.
Thanks Evelyn.
I love the sound of the Aqua di Palma – I find opium is too strong for me
Acqua Di Parma is amazing.
It’s lovely when you find a perfume or two that you fall in love with. The Black Opium bottle is gorgeous. My favourites are Chanel Chance and Tom Ford Mandarino Di Amalfi Acqua at the moment x
Yes it is. I love Chanel Chance a lot x
