Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Pride of Armaf For Women EDP
This is Good Girl turned up to eleven, delivering a beast-mode performance for a fraction of the price. If you want a deeper, louder version of CH's best-seller without breaking the bank, this clone is a no-brainer.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Black Opium Extreme EDP
Black Opium Extreme polarises, as a true YSL flanker should. For some, it's the rich, sophisticated gourmand the original should have been; for others, a patchouli bomb with weak performance. Love it or hate it, it's certainly a statement.

Black Opium Extreme

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

This is a rich, warm, and somewhat heavy fragrance, making it less suitable for office or sport. Its seductive gourmand profile and reported strong projection (for some, at least) lend themselves perfectly to date nights, evening engagements, and cooler weather formal events.
