Which Should You Buy?
If you're already a fan of Black Opium, this is more of the same winning formula. It's a comforting crowd-pleaser, perfect for those who love a sweet, woody scent.
A budget take on YSL Black Opium - the intoxicating black coffee, white florals and creamy vanilla that made the original a cult favourite. Noire Poison nails the seductive gourmand DNA but renders it flatter and skin-close, with less of the original's opening punch.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
The sweet and woody accords, combined with its described comforting nature and general low sillage (for most users) make it suitable for dates and relaxed evenings. While not overpowering, its warmth might be a bit much for a strict office environment, and it is definitely not a sport scent.
Seasons
The sweet coffee-vanilla gourmand belongs in autumn and winter; hot weather turns it cloying.
Occasions
A seductive, sweet scent that shines for dates and evenings more than the office or sport.
