Which Should You Buy?
A legendary, opulent elixir from a bygone era that still commands absolute adoration. It's a rich, spicy, semi-gourmand masterpiece, but buyer beware - the vintage EDP is the real star here; newer versions have dampened its beastly magic.
No. 137 echoes YSL Opium pour Homme's spicy blackcurrant-anise-to-vanilla-tolu arc, but it lacks the original's incense-heavy depth, so the drydown reads sweeter and simpler where the real thing gets darker and more resinous.
