Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Opium Baby Cat Collector EDP
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Opium Rouge EDP
A budget take on YSL Black Opium Over Red - the glossy cherry syrup laid over the familiar coffee-and-vanilla Black Opium base. Opium Rouge captures the sweet, flirtatious cherry twist but renders it flatter and skin-close, with even softer projection than the airy original.

Black Opium Baby Cat Collector

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Autumn

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

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.

Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date

A sweet, flirtatious scent that shines for dates and evenings more than the office or sport.
