Black Opium Over Red
Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Bangkok Eau de Parfum
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.
Our Verdict - Black Opium Over Red Eau de Parfum
The Essence Vault's interpretation of YSL's Black Opium Over Red (2024) - the flanker that layers red fruits over the iconic coffee-vanilla heart of the 2014 original, here translated into a budget reading with the coffee-fruit-vanilla triangle still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening and date wear in cooler weather.
