Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Opium Le Parfum Parfum
A decadent, ultra-rich vanilla bomb shot through with coffee and spice, Black Opium Le Parfum is unapologetically bold and intoxicating, perfect for cold nights and making a seductive statement.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Ambery Vanilla EDP
This "dupe" is a divisive one. Fans say it perfectly captures the spirit of its inspiration with a slightly brighter, less intense floral edge. Detractors find it generic, screechy, and sometimes even plastic-smelling. Try before you buy.
