The Black Friday sales are well and truly here, bringing a whole host of beauty deals across haircare, skincare and make-up. But despite a huge number of brands adding to their virtual bargain buckets, the Debenhams deals really are quite lucrative (with up to 70 per cent off).
Of course, there’s stellar internet-wide across Dyson, Elemis and Huda Beauty (to name but a few), but it’s the bargain pot of perfumes I’m interested in this Black Friday. And, after some perusal, Debenhams’ fragrance offerings are looking pretty good – with a fair few of my favourites included in the mix.
My top pick? It’s got to be Yves Saint Laurent’s black opium eau de parfum (was £67, now £46.90, Debenhams.com). If you’re not familiar, the scent is equal parts sweet and floral, and makes a perfect pick for the upcoming party season. Yep, December is but two days away so scroll on for full details, including the aroma’s olefactory profile and everything you’ll need to know to capitalise on the best savings.

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 30 per cent price cut.
Tempted? There’s more good news, still. As well as being discounted at Debenhams, you’ll find YSL’s Black Opium on offer from the likes of Amazon, John Lewis and Boots, too. So click through below and take your pick!
