Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Inspired by Black Opium
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium (2014) - the Nathalie Lorson coffee-vanilla gourmand that became YSL's biggest commercial hit of the decade, here translated into a pink pepper opening over coffee and a vanilla-patchouli close. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening and date wear at a fraction of the designer price.

Our Verdict - Bangkok
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (2014) - pink pepper, coffee and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
