Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Opium Glitter

A divisive flanker that splits Black Opium fans, this one leans aggressively sweet. Many find it cheap and synthetic, but those who love it adore its marshmallow coffee sweetness and powerful sillage.

Statement

Our Verdict - Black Opium Neon

This flanker either dazzles with its electric, tropical sweetness or falls flat, lacking the original's depth. It's a divisive one, beloved by many for its youthful vibrancy but criticised by some for poor longevity and an occasional 'cleaning product' note. Not a blind buy, but worth sampling if you're after a fruitier OPIUM.
