3. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium

Its iconic glittering black bottle will surely attract you to this perfume. However, its wonderful smell will make you come back for more.

The scent screams "mysterious" and "sophisticated."

Although this fragrance is made for women, it will attract the noses of men, too. Its sexy vibe will be something not everyone can turn away from. For those looking for a more sensual fragrance, then this may be their poison.
