Shock? Meh!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found the fragrance ok, and that's it. Yes, it is floral, but in a light, delicate way. No "Shock" here.
With it being called "Shock" I expected it to be out there, shouting about its character. In that way I found it rather disappointing, weak and rather generic.
It doesn't stand out from the crowd, which is something I would expect from a product being the "Opium" name.
The longevity is poor, as is its sillage. I say this after using the whole sample in one use.
Yes it's "nice", but that's about as far as i can praise it.
Disappointed with the smell, how long it lasts, and its inability to stand out in a very crowded market.

Amazing smell
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of black opium in the post. Firstly I loved the colour of the perfume pink and girly so first impressions were good. I sprayed one squirt on my wrist to test and it smelt amazing, subtle and not over powering the perfume only needs to be sprayed a few times for you to know that everyone around d you can smell how fantastic you smell. It also lasts for hours I sprayed my clothes and you could still smell it on them the next day.
Highly recommended can't wait to purchase a full sized bottle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received my free sample and I Love, Love, Love it.!!!!!
What a gorgeous, very long lasting perfume. It's up there, if not, at the top of my favourite fragrances.
Sultry, sexy and senusual yet delicate and fresh.
I can't wait for Valentines Day because there's very definitely a bottle of this coming my way - I've dropped no end of hints so if there isn't, I will be going straight out to purchase a bottle myself!!!!
Can't congratulate you enough YSL - you have excelled yourself even more than usual this time.

amazing parfum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tested this 4 hours ago and I can still smell it in my wrist.
I own the original Black Opium and this one is quite similar, but not that sweet. I find this a little bit more elegant, more flowery.
Anyway, it's a beautiful smell, much nicer than the original I think, which it's too sweet, cloying and somewhat smoky. I really like this one, it's easier to wear. It's the natural evolution from the original Black Opium, although this flanker has no "Opium" concept at all!

"Such A Stunning Shock"!!
Although I Do Really Like The Original Black Opium Esp,This Floral Shock Version Is Deffo My All Time Favourite So Far!! Deffo NOT As Sweet As The Original & With A Less Black Coffee Note,This One Adds A More Citrusy,Fresh White Floral Blast Which Then Moves Into A More Creamy Milky Softer Note That Wraps It's Wearer Up In Pure YSL Class!! Whenever I Wear This Fragrance I Get So Many Positive Comments About It It's Unreal!! This Fragrance Would Be Also Perfect To Wear In The Spring/Summer Warmer Weather Month's,But Personally I'm Wearing It All Year Round As I Absolutely Adore It!!

Shockingly gorgeous
I have never really been a fan of the Opium range as I always felt it was quite a heavy scent. I was given a sample bottle today and I am really impressed with it! The packing is elegant and the bottle stunning and it is a beautiful fragrance; subtle but sexy, young but sophisticated..... I may have to hide it from my teenage daughter!
