Which Should You Buy?
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.
Perfume Parlour's Ringing Poppy chases YSL Belle D'Opium's smoky white-floral oriental. The jasmine-gardenia opening and tobacco-incense heart read true, but it lands flatter and softer than the original's luminous, hours-long sillage.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
With strong projection and a rich, smoky profile, this scent is ill-suited for the office. It excels in date and formal settings due to its seductive, luxurious character, making it a perfect choice for evening wear and special occasions.
Seasons
The smoky tobacco, amber and incense lean warm and cocooning, suiting autumn and winter far more than warm-weather wear.
Occasions
Its sensual, dressed-up oriental character is built for dates and evenings out rather than the office or daytime casual.
