Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Belle d'Opium EDP
A tragically discontinued masterpiece, Belle d'Opium is a uniquely seductive, smoky white floral that consistently garners compliments. It stands miles apart from its 'Opium' family, a true shame it was ever pulled from shelves.
Statement
Our Verdict - Ringing Poppy EDP
Perfume Parlour's Ringing Poppy chases YSL Belle D'Opium's smoky white-floral oriental. The jasmine-gardenia opening and tobacco-incense heart read true, but it lands flatter and softer than the original's luminous, hours-long sillage.

Season and Occasion Fit

Belle d'Opium

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With strong projection and a rich, smoky profile, this scent is ill-suited for the office. It excels in date and formal settings due to its seductive, luxurious character, making it a perfect choice for evening wear and special occasions.

Ringing Poppy

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The smoky tobacco, amber and incense lean warm and cocooning, suiting autumn and winter far more than warm-weather wear.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its sensual, dressed-up oriental character is built for dates and evenings out rather than the office or daytime casual.
