Black Opium EDP

Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued gem is probably the most missed men's release ever, with vanilla and orange blossom creating a unique 'frozen' feeling. It's polarising, but its fans are borderline obsessive and united in their plea for Dior to bring it back. Seriously, people are petitioning.
Black Opium leans on YSL's coffee-vanilla signature and gets the instantly recognisable opening right - but the original's white florals and cedar-patchouli base give it a smoky, addictive depth over eight-plus hours that this dupe trades for a much simpler, faster-fading sweetness.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and generally inoffensive, clean character make it versatile for most casual and office settings, though some find it a bit too sweet for formal events. The fresh qualities of orange blossom and its 'cool' feel also loan it to warmer weather, making it a good choice for casual daytime wear.
Seasons
The sweet coffee-vanilla base is a cold-weather, evening scent that feels too heavy and sugary in hot summer conditions.
Occasions
Bold and sensual enough for a date or a night out; too sweet and attention-seeking for a conservative office environment.
