this ambery vanilla perfume is truly better than black opium. why? its a true rich, vanilla bean thats elegant and lively. dossier does a fabulous job on meeting the notes to make this fragrance spectacular. if you want an elegant, rich, and charming smell do not hesitate this is the one. plus ur saving money (girl math!)

It's absolutely delicious- many compliments and I feel so confident wearing it! It's light on the coffee note, heavier on the amber, vanilla, and jasmine, so I wear it paired with a single-note coffee perfume oil that smooths it right out. It comes out of the bottle with a bit of sharpness like any alcohol-based scent, but it settles pretty quickly and reacts nicely to the skin. A+, dossier!

I originally fell in love with Black Opium after I received a sample, but a friend passed this product suggestion along when I lamented about the price of the full-size original. Ambery Vanilla is a great alternative, and I may even like it better than the original! It is not too heavy or overwhelming, but the scent lasts a long time. I have gotten several compliments since I started wearing it. I think this is my new go-to scent, but I'm eager to try other dossier dupes!

Ok... so I had to write this review. At first sniff from the bottle I thought this was way too strong. I was afraid to spray. Kept postponing trying this thinking I would return. Crazy thing is... maybe from letting it sit and marinate a bit, the scent kind of settled and became really sweet. So I tried it over the weekend. A little strong at first but does settle into a really yummy floral vanilla. Ive been using it non stop for the past few days. No headaches or sneezing. I fact I think it wears off too quickly. So I have to reapply by the end of the day. Wish it had a little more vanilla but overall really satisfied. Thank you!!

I've had my eye on the Black Opium as soon as I read the scent notes but never wanted to pay the price. I was ecstatic when I learned about Dossier! I was right, this perfume is exactly what I wanted. At first it comes off a little strong but once it settles in, it's AMAZING! I've only had it on a couple hours and someone already stopped me to ask what I was wearing!

YSL Opium Black is one of my favorite scents. Dossier has nailed the YSL Opium black scent with Amberly Vanilla, with some notes standing out even more than YSL. Amberly Vanilla also lasts on the body very long. Thank you Dossier for having such a great dupe for a great price.

I put this on my Xmas list because lately Ive been trying to get my smell good game strong and I dont want to buy a bunch of expensive perfumes if they dont mix well with my pheromones. THIS SMELLS SO AMAZING, IM SO GLAD MY BF GOT ME THIS. I smell so expensive. :u1F970:

Second time purchasing as I loved the first scent which was called Floriental Vanilla. Figured only the name changed to Ambery Vanilla but both the scent changed and even the color from cognac to white. The scent isn't as appealing as smells watered down which i noticed at first spray. I was excited to get the second bottle but it's just meh... will be returning.

Love love love this perfume! It lasts forever and smells the exact same as the Black Opium perfume, if not better! I get so many compliments all the time, everyone is always asking to borrow it. If you want something sexy and sweet this is definitely the perfume for you!

It smells very very similar to the ysl original but I think it has slightly less of a coffee smell. I find dossiers version more pleasant than the original. Every time I wear it people ask me about it and I loveee to layer it. The staying power is pretty good but I notice it lasts longer on fabrics rather than on my skin. Overall, I love it! Ive bought 3 bottles already so I could keep one in my purse.
