Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Angélique Noire EDP
A divisive yet frequently adored green vanilla, Angélique Noire balances warmth and freshness unlike anything else. While some find it too green, too powdery, or even 'celery-like', its fans hail it as a sophisticated, elegant masterpiece for a reason. Don't dismiss it until you've tried it on skin.

Our Verdict - Black Opium Gold Attraction Edition EDP
Seriously, YSL, just make this bottle design standard already. The scent is a familiar comfort, but the gold attraction bottle version is clearly a fan favourite for its chic, edgy vibes, blowing the original's 'sparkly tacky' look out of the water.
