Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Never smelled the Prada but unlike most who’ve answered so far, I love Black Opium.
  • I'm going straight for the Black Opium sample there!
  • the only perfumes ive tried are burberry her and black opium, and although i like them, im looking for something a bit more mature.
  • the only perfume i’ve consistently used is ysl black opium, because i love the coffee notes with vanilla.
  • It’s a lovely scent, but I have so many that it will take me forever to get through my travel spray.

Cons

  • No. It's one of the easiest fragrances to be able to test in person. I really did not like it.
  • I REALLY liked it the first few times I smelled it in store, then once I bought a 10ml, I don’t like it anymore, like it doesn excite me, idk what happened.
  • For what it's worth, I enjoy the initial spray but the dry-down isn't my jam. I think it smells like cotton candy, maybe from the orange blossom or licorice.
  • The Candy Rock Sugar felt weird at first, almost the same as the Ysl Black Opium
  • now we've got like 12 different Black Opium flankers.

Funnily enough it’s the only Black Opium flanker I enjoy - I’m not a huge fan of the original, either 😅
