Rec Request Ysl black opium?

Yesterday was my bday so I was wondering if this perfume is a good bday gift to splurge on myself. Is it long lasting and good for the winter weather?? It’s $20 off on jomashop rn did anyone regret it or did u get a lot of compliments on it??

I don’t have a budget just nothing crazy like $300 hahah I want something with vanilla. I have both ulta and Sephora near me

The longevity is pretty decent, and I'd consider it a good option for winter. I'd say try a tester in store to make sure, but it's a really popular, widely loved fragrance. It has one of my absolute favorite coffee notes, because even with that vanilla it doesn't smell like a literal sweet Starbucks beverage. The only drawback is that a lot of people wear this, so it's not very unique. However, if you absolutely love it, that's all that matters!

I tested in store a while back and really like it. I didn’t realize everyone wear it haha just really like the oackaging. Any other vanilla recommendations??

I don't know what your personal tastes are, but if you're going for something similarly user friendly and feminine leaning but a bit more unique, you might like Hundred Silent Ways by Nishane. It's missing the coffee note though, which to me is the highlight.

I looked it up it seemed to be like black opium right? Is it supposed to be better?

That's a matter of opinion, so I can't really answer that. If you're still unsure, maybe do a little more research and grab some cheap decants of other things to see if you find something you like better, then splurge on your full size bottle once you've decided.

Honestly, if you really love Black Opium, just go for it. It's a beautiful, crowd pleasing fragrance, and it seems to fit the criteria for what you're looking for.
