Floral what?
Too bad! Not nearly as floral as its name suggests. For me, the weakest fragrance of the series, a light variant of the original Black Opium with an implied floral note. Also in terms of durability and sillage a light variant, after about an hour I perceive the fragrance only skin. On my skin develops additionally an unpleasant plastic note.

I could imagine that the fragrance appeals to all those for whom the classic Black Opium was a headache candidate. The name "Floral Shock" leads here, however, unfortunately on's bald ice and lets expect a completely different fragrance.

A flop through and through
The whole line of Black Opium is in my opinion a total flop, no character, no expression, no special recognition value, everything basically has this cheap, fruity-sweet and in this case Foral Shock just flowery-fruity-sweet mainstream character, absolutely arbitrary, interchangeable and basically negligible. There will be no Ooh's and Ahh's in this fragrance and when asked "What are you wearing?" one would probably be surprised that it is supposed to be a YSL - which used to stand for style, revolution and exclusivity. The hammer, moreover, is that for this fruity-sweet synthetic plörrchen, with which presumably bottle is more expensive than the contents, still very high money requires.

Very fruity, but like a tropical fruit! With a bit of coffee and Amber.
