Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - New York Nights EDP
Bond No. 9 New York Nights is a confusing beast - a divisive gourmand that throws everything but the kitchen sink at you. You'll either get creamy banana bread dreams or nail polish remover. Not for the faint-hearted or those seeking linear perfection, but undoubtedly unique.
Statement
Our Verdict - Black Opium - 82 - Intense Parfum
No. 82 - Intense pushes YSL Black Opium's coffee-vanilla core louder and sweeter for more sillage, which does help it survive longer on skin than the standard EDP dupe, but it trades the original's smoky bitter-almond nuance for a flatter, syrupier gourmand that reads more generic the longer it wears.

Season and Occasion Fit

New York Nights

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

With significant sweetness and prominent caramel and coffee accords, this leans away from formal or office settings. Its strong sillage and 'date night' mentions in reviews highlight its suitability for intimate evening wear and casual outings, though some find it versatile enough for year-round wear.

A heavy, sweet coffee-vanilla concentrate that suits the coldest months, overwhelming in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
