Which Should You Buy?
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.
A sparkling, pretty scent that's pure fun in a bottle, if you don't mind over-spraying. Shame about the woeful performance, which means most people find it hard to justify the price for something that disappears faster than your last-minute holiday plans.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The dense vanilla, coffee and spicy accords are best suited for cold weather, making this a powerhouse for winter and cozy fall nights. Its richness and warmth may be cloying in summer, while spring is passable for nighttime wear.
Occasions
This is a statement scent ideal for formal evenings, parties, and romantic dates where its bold, sensual presence shines. Its intensity and sweetness are overpowering for office or sport.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh and fizzy nature makes it suitable for casual wear and even sport. However, its poor longevity and projection mean it won't overwhelm an office, but it might not make an impact on a date or formal event.
