Even the bottle is perfect for the festive season, coming in a sleek black bottle covered in black glitter for some added glitz and glamour. YSL Black Opium has racked up an impressive 4.8 star rating on Debenhams, with more than 18000 shoppers giving it a 5 star review.

Debenhams)One wrote: “Soothing and a beautiful perfume. I wear it every day to work, and it makes me feel fresh and uplifted. It truly boosts my mood. Worth the cost because it’s so unique, completely unlike the typical perfumes on the market. It’s rare and incredibly soothing. Plus, the longevity is amazing! (I’m using the EDP.) Even after a long day, the fragrance remains fresh on my pulse points. If you love simple and soothing fragrances, this is perfect for you. Thank you, YSL—this will be a forever purchase for me!”
Another added: “Lovely smelling perfume, also fast delivery from Debenhams couldn’t fault them.”
However some weren’t quite as taken with the scent, with one saying: “This perfume personally wasn’t for me. It wasn’t terrible but with all the other perfumes out there, this one wouldn’t be my choice. Packaging looked cheap as well.”
However a third disagreed, writing: “Smells so good, I use this perfume as my daily scent and get many compliments.”
