The Black Opium Episode and A Perfumed Giveaway

Who are you? A Debbie Harry or a Grace Kelly? Because I am both. And I think all of us women are a mélange of these two type of characters. Angels with a little tint of devilish. Feminine with a dash of masculinity. Sensual but powerful. Mysterious but friendly and open.

Even the way I dress speaks about these two sides of mine. I can fall in love in an instant with a delicate lace dress. Very feminine, innocent and prism. It will make me feel like a delicate English rose. And I can be all about fragility and sensibility.

However, there are times, most of the times, when a pencil skirt, a decadent long cape, black fishnet tights, red lipstick, red nails, a masculine suit and a power attitude make me feel empowered, make me feel like I can rule the world. It takes out the seductive diva in me.

Yes, I have a giveaway for you today and yes, it gives me great pleasure to be able to give you the chance to win one of the most desirable perfumes – Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent. I spoke about these two feminine sides because I started thinking about them when I first scented Black Opium on my skin, at its launching event a few weeks ago.

Got me thinking about decadence, about secrets, about how passionately people loved in the 19 century, about fishnet tights, about femme fatales who dressed like innocent misses, about mystery, about Luisa Casati and my rock chick favorite Debbie Harry, about cigarettes smoked from a cigarette holder, about Autumn afternoons spent in the garden in a lovers arm. It made me think about the beautiful mélange of coffee scent, jasmine, about orange blossoms, pink pepper and vanilla. Mixed perfectly in this perfume. It made me think about what being powerful really means, about making history, about becoming unforgettable. It made me think about what I want to become.

Now, tell me in a comment with which kind of outfit would you wear Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent and also insert #YSLBLACKOPIUM hashtag alongside your answer.

I`ll sort the 2 winners randomly in two weeks. On 25th of February.

So? Are you a Debbie or a Grace?
