This is interesting perfumery that is meant to smell like Moscow in the 80's, and I'm struggling to wrap my head around it and describe it. Opening starts off spicy, floral and fruity green, followed by saffron, wood, fog machine smoke, and as someone said below, a mystery accord/note that reads to me like a chalky vanilla. It's blended well and not easy to pick out many individual notes aside from saffron, leather, and a strange smoke. The the sum of the parts is nostalgic and does remind me of the past (80's) in some way I cannot accurately explain. Maybe there was something in the carpets or an off gassing of a chemical that is no longer used today. Maybe it's the the saffron/lotus/smoke/carrot seed blend that is giving me that 80's leather couch and smoke machine vibe? I have no idea, but it's a cool creation. This one is not so avant garde that it's not wearable, and smells (albeit weird) IMO. It's also not so heavy that you couldn't use it in spring or moderate temperatures.

Phew! I love this! Definitely not for the faint of heart. She's the perfect level of offensiveness and I love how intoxicating she is. You will most definitely offend at least 2 people if you wear Darling Nikki lol. I don't care; The scent does something to my brain in a very good way. She's the ultimate goth fragrance IMO. This is what Morticia Addams wears to the ball. Proceed with caution.
It smells both fresh and smoky at the same time. It's like you just took a shower with lotus scented soap, then immediately went to a hookah bar wearing your leather jacket. So if you want to smell like the cleanest person in the hookah bar, this is for you.
YSL Opium goes Cottagecore, with a slight edge. Lively, complex and peculiar. It's sweet like the sweetest of oranges, yet oddly vegetal, with a warm, fresh spiciness that's quite dominating. The extremely diverse list of accords is a good indicator of Darling Nikki's complex nature. It's like a strange concoction of citronella, a blazing cottage wood stove, a vegetable garden, baby powder, and resinous chunks of pitch cut from evergreens to serve as fire-starter. It's like going to visit your ambiguously-witchy, cottage-dwelling aunt for Autumn Equinox. Her cottage is on the edge of the woods, its windows cluttered with hanging herbs and gemstones, its garden wild and thriving. She stays up late into the night, drinking spiced rum and scribbling into notebooks, listening to old rock music. She leaves scraps out for the foxes.
