Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Black Friday sales are well and truly here, bringing a whole host of beauty deals across hair care, skincare and make-up. But despite a huge number of brands adding to their virtual bargain buckets, my thoughts haven’t left Lookfantastic’s Black Friday deals for long.
On top of stellar savings across Espa, Elemis, Lancôme and Olaplex (to name but a few), the bargain pot of perfumes is equally as impressive, and a fair few of my favourites are included in the mix.
First up, it’s the sweet, citrusy Floral Street sunflower pop eau de parfum, included in my long list of beauty editor-approved buys. Then, something a little more luxurious: Yves Saint Laurent’s black opium eau de parfum.

On the outside, this fragrance certainly looks chic, with a sexy, sparkly black bottle that’s sure to slot into anyone’s bathroom shelf. And, let’s not forget that the luxury YSL logo is emblazoned across it, too.
But, just as with books, let’s not judge a perfume by its cover and find out a little more about what’s actually inside.
Top notes of pear accord and mandarin essence give an initial florally, sweet scent, although this doesn’t last long. Underneath you’ll whiff warming black coffee and cedarwood, giving the fragrance a dark, fashionable twist. And it lasts an incredibly long time on the skin, too.
So, with Christmas right around the corner, this is a key perfume you’d be wise to pick up – especially considering the 36 per cent price cut.
