The YSL Belle D'Opium perfume is a beautiful perfume. The scent is "the narcotic scent of Casablanca Lily blends with spicy swirling incense and mysterious overtones of a Nargileh accord". Its been designed for "a woman full of ambivalence, elusive and obsessive, powerful and troubling, ingenue but dangerous. Her perfume, a disconcertingly bewitching new oriental."
Its available in Boots, 50ml is £64. It is an expensive perfume, but a little goes a long way as it has a very strong smell which lasts for hours. I love the packaging it comes in, it has an opaque blue glass bottle, which is darker on the outer corners and lightens as you look to the middle of the bottle. It has round see-through glass in the middle showing the yellow perfume inside with the Belle D'Opium logo in gold. When the bottle hits the light, it looks stunning.
The perfume has top notes of Casablanca lily, jasmine and mandarin, base notes of patchouli and sandalwood, and heart notes of incense, fruity and peach. The Belle D'Opium has a musky, powdery scent, which can be overpowering when you first apply the perfume, but it soon settles down and becomes less noticeable. It's a very feminine perfume and it would suit strong, powering women. I think this perfume is suitable for evening wear, as it may be too overpowering for the day time. Overall, this is a great perfume, it's a bit expensive but worth it. I would rate it 4/5.
