Which Should You Buy?
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.
339 delivers YSL Black Opium's signature coffee-vanilla gourmand well at the top, though it settles into a much softer base than the bold designer original.

This is a seductive, bold scent that shines for evening, date, and formal occasions due to its intense sweetness and projection. It's too powerful for most office or sport situations.
