Yves Saint Laurent is one of my favorite brands that crafts thrilling, daring and sensual perfumes. Men and women. This year, the brand presents a new limited edition perfume Black Opium Pure Illusion – a new interpretation of the iconic brands Black Opium perfume from 2014. The original version is very intense and elegant, while the new updated versions are more freshly, airy, flowery and sensual.
