Review Black Opium Floral Shock. Fris en krachtig

Floral Shock is what I think of as Summer Black Opium. It's quite a bit lighter and less sweet the original Black Opium. Floral Shock is not what I would have named this, because it's more "fresh" than "floral". There are floral notes, but they aren't showcased, (on my skin anyways). The first impression my nose detects is an ozone-ish essence that reminds me of beach air and sand...NOT sunscreen in the least. It's an elemental aroma, that connotes the aura of summertime.

Een mooie, langdurige, kenmerkende geur. Ik raad degenen die graag goed ruiken aan.

Goedkope parfum is weggegooit geld, je kan beter investeren in een duurdere categorie. Persoonlijk is dit voor mij een verstandige keuze. Zeer goed product geur werkt lang na.

Deze black opium is de slechte uit de collectie ruikt namenlijk niet en vervaagd binnen 1 sec dus echt geen aanrader zonde neem gewoon de normale zou ik zeggen die ruik je nog ik koop het niet helaas niet voor herhaling vatbaar.

Yves Sait Laurent Black Opium Floral is totally amazing, everyone comment on me because of it, but it's soooo expensive I only bought it once. This is hands down my favorite perfume! I prefer this one over the original black opium. It has a very fresh scent and it kinda smells like vanilla. I wear it everyday and get so many compliments. I highly recommend it for spring/summer.

I thought I would love this, given that I adore Black Opium and thought Nuight Blanche was a good extension of the line. Alas, this one smelt synthetical, cloying and headache inducing. They tried to match a fresh flower scent with a sweet warm vanilla-scent and the two still clashing for the upperhand when you spray it. When it wears down, its gets better, but only because a couple of the notes disappear.

Unlike the original-Black Opium-formula's cloying mess this sunnier version is more wearable and light. A lightly candied fruity-floral synth accord with a dominant warm fruity gardenia, hints of musky amber and a tad of dark-metallic toasted balancing "assertiveness". Nothing really interesting, pass by.

The whole line of Black Opium is in my opinion a total flop, no character, no expression, no special recognition value, everything basically has this cheap, fruity-sweet and in this case Foral Shock just flowery-fruity-sweet mainstream character, absolutely arbitrary, interchangeable and basically negligible. There will be no Ooh's and Ahh's in this fragrance.
