Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Narcotic Delight Eau de Parfum

Narcotic Delight is a bold, boozy cherry-vanilla powerhouse that divides opinion; some find it a sexy, addictive masterpiece, while others are put off by its intensity, synthetic vibe, or overwhelming sweetness. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Elixir Eau de Parfum

Yodeyma's most-recommended Black Opium dupe: coffee-vanilla-liqueur DNA with the bitter-almond and woody base that defines the YSL original, at supermarket prices. Community-attested as one of the closest faithful reproductions in the UK budget dupe market.

Season and Occasion Fit

Narcotic Delight Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Given its enormous sillage and longevity, this scent is ill-suited for the office, where it could easily overpower colleagues. Its seductive boozy cherry and tobacco notes, frequently described in reviews as 'sexy' and 'intoxicating', make it ideal for dates and evening events. While leaning towards night-time wear, its opulent character also fits formal evening gatherings, but it's too heavy and sweet for casual daytime or sport.

Elixir Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

The coffee-vanilla DNA leans cold-weather - warm spices and boozy depth feel heavy in summer heat but sit comfortably from autumn through winter, with peak presence after dark.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual Formal

Evening-focused: the projection and the come-hither sweetness read date-night or night-out before they read boardroom. Casual fine in cool weather; office only if you spray light.
