"This is Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent. I got this in PR. [...] I like it. It's like if I remember correctly it has like a little vanilla. It has some sweetness to it."

"I really appreciate that it's not too sweet, and [...] I really just do not like a fragrance where you put it on and it just feels like sickly sweet. It's still sophisticated and mature feeling. It doesn't feel like sometimes sweet fragrances just feel like they're so immature. I do like it. I was surprised by how much I like it."
