Wanted Girl Eau de Parfum vs Black Opium Perfume Oil
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A divisive sweet treat. Some find this a delicious, versatile gourmand with a creamy lactonic heart, others find it a generic floral with disappointing longevity. The main selling point, if you buy into it, is the dulce de leche.
Inspired By Black Opium leans hard on vanilla sweetness and lets the coffee note fade fast, so the addictive, slightly bitter roast-and-vanilla tension that made YSL's original so distinctive turns into a simpler sweet gourmand.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sweet and gourmand nature makes it great for dates and casual wear, especially in cooler weather. Reviewers suggest its moderate sillage and often criticised longevity make it suitable for an office environment, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events or the freshness for sport.
Seasons
A sweet vanilla-coffee gourmand built for cold weather, when the warmth reads inviting rather than heavy.
Occasions
Sweet and a little seductive, it suits evening dates and dressed-up settings over daytime casual wear.
