Pros & Cons

  • ✅ It is a rich, addictive vanilla gourmand that presents a softer and more elegant side of the iconic Black Opium line.
  • ✅ This is the closest I have to a signature perfume these days, and is my go to if I can’t decide.
  • ✅ The dry down is really beautiful with lots of rich and sensual vanillas, a boozy vanilla bourbon, rich and earthy coffee, delicate and powdery vanilla orchid, and just a touch of patchouli adding to the depth.
  • ✅ I get excellent performance with Black Opium Le Parfum. The longevity is fantastic, it lasts throughout the day on me. The projection is great, it radiates out a few feet from me.
  • ❌ Love the original Black Opium but this smells too 'warm' in a way that is vaguely unpleasant to me. Needs spice or something.
  • ❌ An unnecessary scent very similar to regular black opium.
  • ❌ I seriously don't know what you all are smelling The one I tested from the paper strip is something extremely boring and flat I barely smelled it as if it's non-existent despite the dark liquid color.
  • ❌ I absolutely love it, it’s a shame that it doesn’t last, moderate in terms of 2-3 hours and maybe with some luck longer on clothes then pray for some whiffs.
