Much in the same way we wear clothes for different occasions, our perfume choices should change based on circumstances, too. And though it might seem natural to switch our winter fragrances for those more fresh and floral during the warmer months, it’s also a good idea to think about changing it up more regularly.

black opium is not floral. I like it, it is all right. I can wear anything really, who cares of the day of the week.
Love perfume, I have tried many of the YSL perfumes, not opium though. I would be happy with any one of these fragrances.
Mon, Tue and Wed wore Soleil Blanc. Summer bliss in a bottle. Weekend wore citrus bomb (yuzu and lemon peel, so bitterly refreshing) Donna by trussardi. Love these white bottles
Opium looks so nice and I have tried it at Myer hope to one day purchase it.
I love the Crabtree & Evelyn Caribbean Island Wild Flowers, but I’m not sure it’s still available.
