Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dark Kiss Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive throwback. Some absolutely adore its sweet, dark fruitiness and mysterious edge, finding it surprisingly potent for a Bath & Body Works offering. Others find it overwhelmingly sweet, like 'cough syrup' or 'berry yogurt,' lacking the sophistication they sought.
Statement
Our Verdict - Belle d'Opium Eau de Parfum
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.

Dark Kiss Eau de Parfum

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its strong, sweet, and musky profile, which many reviews mention as long-lasting and noticeable, makes it less suitable for office wear. However, these same qualities, particularly the 'sexy' and 'seductive' aspects highlighted by users, position it perfectly for dates and evening casual outings.
