This perfume is a dead ringer for Black opium and honestly Im just amazed over it! It goes on wonderfully and stays great- although not quite as long as the original Black Opium. But for the price, I dont feel guilty giving myself an extra spritz here and there. Definitely pick this one up for all the glamour for half the price! ;)

Smells really nice and very similar to Black Opium but a little more floral and vanilla in my opinion. I would definitely say this is a sexy, yummy scent. It is perfect for fall or winter because it is warm.The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because the scent does not last long on my body at all. My boyfriend wears cologne from Dossier and it stays fragrant all day and sometimes through the night. Not sure why this one doesn't last as long. Still love this perfume though! I would recommend wearing it with a base of light-scented lotion to keep the smell lasting for longer.

I believe this one is better than the original. I alway think the top note of YSL black opium is a bit too strong for me, but I love its base note. This one is actually very similar to the original but without the harsh top note. Less invasive to wear for work, lol

This is sexy. Idk what else to say... my sister was the first to introduce me to YSL. Im impressed with how exact the formula is, excepting of course the length of time it sticks to your skin. For me, thats not personally something I would expect from a perfume at this price point; but I can see some people were expecting that. Otherwise it smells amazing!

Was a little hesitant on trying out a dupe for YSL's black opium, but I am glad I did. It smells almost exactly like black opium and it really caught me off guard how similar it smells to it. If anything, I like Dossier's version more! Will be trying out more of their perfumes.

A bit sweet for my taste (I tend towards crisper scents, like Floral Grapefruit) but I do occasionally like the warmth of vanilla. It reminded me of an old Charlotte Russe body spray--sweet and heavy. Made me sneeze, so I ended up returning. I can definitely envision somebody who enjoys a gourmand liking it.

Sweet. One of my favorite scents to wear during a night out. Ambery Vanilla is missing that coffee note that the original YSL Black Opium has, but its a fantastic fragrance nonetheless. I didnt think I was going to like it, but Im glad I took the risk.

Either I went nose blind to the scent shortly after applying it or maybe I'm doing it all wrong. I keep getting little whiffs of it throughout the day like it's just kind of lingering in the background. Not a bold "in your face" kind of scent. Wish it was just a little stronger. Regardless, I like it and will purchase again in the future.

bought this as a Christmas gift for my little sister because she was wanting a vanilla scent, and I was nervous because it was a blind buy, but she absolutely loves it. It has become her favorite and she's flying through the bottle, and she has said as soon as she's done she's getting another one for herself :) With fall coming up, I might get one for myself! It has the sweetness of vanilla, but also a really lovely muskiness.

I am someone who prefers that when a fragrance emphasizes a certain note it has, such as in the name, I would like those notes to be most prevalent. I couldn't smell the vanilla in this. It smelled more floral rather than vanilla. I don't have the original fragrance that inspired this blend so I can't make a comparison. But if you like a light floral scent and are fine with not smelling any of the vanilla, you might like this.
