There are few brands that are as luxurious as Saint Laurent. The fashion house has a long history of releasing fragrances. In 1964, Yves Saint Laurent launched his debut perfume simply titled Y. He wanted to create a heavy and lush perfume.
It wasn’t till 2014, that YSL released its blockbuster Black Opium perfume. The bottle is dark and glitter encrusted. It has a rock and roll edge. The perfume has notes of coffee and vanilla that made it an immediate success. Black Opium has a rich smell that wakes up the senses.
YSL Perfume Dupes
Besides Black Opium, there are other YSL perfumes that are very popular. YSL Libre and YSL Mon Paris are two other distinct fragrances from YSL. As all things YSL go, these perfumes are not cheap. The prices for these perfumes range from $99 – $155. This opens up the market to YSL perfume dupes. These dupes smell similar to the real thing, if not very close for a fraction of the price.
