Touch of Woman

Very similar to Black Opium. You get the initial BO scent but it doesn't go as deep imo. It'd still be quite nice anyway if the performance was better. I get about 2-3hrs maybe out of this. It's a wonderful scent and probably still worth it at it's price point if you don't mind re-applying. Also it could last longer on others. Many factors effect that outcome. But for me, it walks the line of being worth it. Probably wouldn't repurchase. I have a BO flanker I prefer. edited to add: I was considering giving this away but decided to try layering it with others to see how it would do. I paired it with another La Rive I have issues with, Miss Dream. They smelled great combined and it did help with this ones longevity a bit. This smells very much like pure vanilla extract to me now. Which makes it quite perfect for layering with other perfumes.

I am not so sure about this one. I don't really like Black Opium, I find it too mature and sweet and cloying, but I like vanilla and coffee so when I found this dupe (I was initially looking for Fleur de Femme) at such a low price I told myself why not, and the comments here got me to think this was a toned down version of Black Opium. Well it is not toned down so much, the scent is pretty strong and sweet, still mature in my opinion. At least I don't get the liquorice note at all, thank god for that. Overall it is a pretty sweet and cloying scent, I would only wear this during very cold winter days, otherwise I get tired of the scent pretty quickly.

Syntethic amberwood vanilla sweetness.

Black Opium without coffee. I bought this looking for an affordable alternative to Black Opium. While it is a nice smell, this is far too “soft” for what I was looking for. Didn’t last long on me either. Which is a shame, because I really loved this line’s Fleur de Femme.

Sweet, warm perfume that doesn't last very long. It's inoffensive, feminine, and generally a good perfume to have for casual wear, in case you want to spritz some on without using more expensive perfumes. Cannot say it's very memorable, and it develops fast. I don't really get any notes, except the vanilla and the initial scent that's peachy in a sense that you smell a fuzzy peach directly on its skin; warm, fruity, but not very peach-like. It's an okay for me, mostly because of the longevity.
