Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Opium Intense EDP
Black Opium Intense amps up the original's signature coffee-vanilla with an absinth twist, creating a rich, decadent, and unforgettable night-out statement. Not for the shy, this is a modern femme fatale in a bottle.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Noire Feline EDP
A budget take on YSL's Black Opium Baby Cat Collector - the same beloved coffee, almond and creamy vanilla as the original Black Opium in collector dress. Noire Feline nails the seductive gourmand DNA but renders it flatter and skin-close, with less of the original's opening punch.
