Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Bangkok Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (2014) - pink pepper, coffee and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
Our Verdict - Black Opium (Rollerball) Eau de Parfum
The Essence Vault's interpretation of YSL's Black Opium (2014) - Honorine Blanc and Nathalie Lorson's coffee-vanilla feminine, here in a portable rollerball reading with the coffee-vanilla-pepper axis still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for purse-carry and touch-up wear.
