Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rare EDP

This "clean girl gourmand" is a pleasant, comfy vanilla that's an easy reach. Don't expect groundbreaking originality; many say it's basically Burberry Goddess without the lavender. Performance can be a bit of a mixed bag - some find it lasting, others say it fades fast.

Our Verdict - Black Opium Nuit Blanche EDP

A creamy, milky dream that many rate as the best Black Opium flanker. It’s a crying shame it was discontinued, as the hype is real for this addictive sweet treat.

Season and Occasion Fit

Rare

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its gentle projection and comforting, sweet profile make it an excellent choice for casual wear and dates. While some find its performance strong, its generally softer nature allows for office wear, provided it's applied lightly. It's too sweet for formal settings and far too cloying for sport.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its sweet, milky gourmand nature makes it ideal for dates and casual outings, exuding a magnetic coziness. While some find it too strong for the office, its moderate projection and smoother profile compared to the original mean it can be worn with care in formal settings.
