Meet Black Opium on your own skin
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is an Eau de Parfum from the Yves Saint Laurent line-up. A note pyramid is not on file here, so this page makes no claims about how it should come across. The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
On the skin
No note list is on record for Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium; wear it and judge. We would rather give you a clean sample than a description we cannot stand behind. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other.
Every perfume moves through stages: a bright opening, a middle that sets the character and a base that stays. Check Black Opium at each of those moments. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
The decant holds the same liquid as the full bottle of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium, moved into a small glass spray vial by FragranceGems and labelled by us. Because it is a spray, the perfume spreads on skin the same way it would from the bottle.
Testing it
With no season on file for Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium, the fair test is simply several different days. Spray it on the inside of your wrist or elbow and do not rub. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather.
The audience on record for Black Opium: for women. If you already know the house, a decant lets you check whether this one fits next to what you own. If you are choosing a gift, testing it yourself first tells you what you are giving.
You learn more from three wearings of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium than from thirty opinions about it. The vial is filled and labelled by us, FragranceGems, from the original bottle. It is not an official brand sample and we are not affiliated with the house.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

Read how we fill your sampleQuestions
Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium and filled into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems. The vial carries our own label, so it is a decant and not a sample made by the brand.
No note list is on record with us for Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
That depends on how long you want to test. The smallest vial is enough for a first impression of Black Opium; the larger ones give you many wearings, in different weather and on different days.
The brand
71 perfumes by Yves Saint Laurent: that is our current list of samples from this house. You choose 2, 5 or 10 ml; we fill the glass spray vial from the original bottle and label it ourselves. Yves Saint Laurent belongs to the designer perfume samples on DecantGems. Wearing a perfume for a few days is the fair way to judge it, and that is what a decant is for.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
