HUME Black Opium Projection and Sillage Explained
Projection describes how noticeable HUME Black Opium is around you; sillage describes the trail as you move. This guide has no measured projection distances or duration for the perfume. Approximately 40% fragrance oil does not alone establish initial strength, later noticeability or how large the scent cloud will be.

HUME developed this fragrance with the goal of approaching the inspiration profile closely. Oil concentration is a formulation specification, not a guarantee of superior longevity, projection or similarity.
How can you assess the opening and later projection?
Ask someone at ordinary conversational distance whether they notice it soon after application and later in the wear. Keep application and room conditions similar when comparing trials. Outdoor airflow and indoor ventilation can change the result; becoming accustomed to the smell yourself does not prove it has disappeared for others.
How should you apply it for work, a date or a party?
Start with one spray for a personal first trial and adjust after assessing the bottle; this is not a validated ideal number. Use restraint in close office or dinner settings and judge party application by venue and prior experience. Fabric application needs care and testing and does not guarantee stronger projection.
Is HUME affiliated with YSL?
No. HUME Black Opium is an independent inspired fragrance. It is not manufactured, endorsed or sponsored by YSL.
