What I like about Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is that it's an understated scent that's somehow familiar.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love Yves Saint Laurent. I love Chanel. And Versace! Such beautiful gowns!
Yves Saint Laurent was the first person who made me feel like a woman.
I love Yves Saint Laurent and Giambattista Valli and Givenchy, and I get given quite a lot, but perhaps nothing is as wonderful as the white fake leather trench coat I got when I was 15.
I like a fragrance that you notice and want to find out more about - get a bit closer. I don't want to walk in and be jolted awake by someone's smell.
I remember when I came home from the hospital after having my son, I wore a Narciso Rodriguez black coat. Then, I was using this fragrance that I had created. I walk by that coat, and it still smells like that fragrance. It takes you right there.
Rosewood has always been one of my favourite scents, as has the pink grapefruit and pepper we've also put in Homme.
All the drawings and sketches and clothes of Yves Saint Laurent in the '70s were so colorful, so bright.
The fragrance I always wear is Coco by Chanel. I've worn it for 20 years. It suits me, it's classic, and I like the simplicity of only ever wearing one fragrance.
A good fragrance should have a certain personality that makes people identify the scent with you.
I love Serge Lutens orange blossom perfume; my mom got it for me. It's my favorite. It just smells clean.
