The bottle is well constructed and elegant, modern.The parfum is beautifully composed with great wear, a little on the softer silage side.If you would like a dupe of YSL - Black Opium that isn't quite as bold that is smelled on a more intimate basis this might be the one for you.It's just a little more of a skin scent.Don't get me wrong - if someone is sitting next to you or having an in person conversation they will catch enticing hints of this fragrance that will of course inspire curiosity and make you a little more mysterious.It just doesn't herald your arrival and prolong your departure with quite the veracity that YSL's Black Opium does; but it does wear longer than the YSL.Perhaps a great way to extend the wear of the YSL is to carry the Dossier for touch-ups, or vice versa.I love it.It is mysterious, alluring, sexy, and delicious all at once while still being elegant and sophisticated.A "I'm super sexy without trying" kind of scent.
Gorgeous scent! I love perfumes & I’m super picky. I either love or return. This scent is gorgeous. Smells a bit sweet but not overly sweet, not super vanilla just a hint of it with sophistication lol …Very soft and sultry. I applied moisturizer (thin thin layer Vaseline) then sprayed perfume… stayed on my skin probably 8+hrs and i checked my sweater the next day you could easily smell it on my sweater. Definitely worth the $
Another winner from Dossier. I got to try this scent on at my local Walmart so I had a good idea of what I was getting into. My bottle smells exactly like the one at the store, delicious. Honestly, I forget what the OG black Opium smells like, but I don't care. This scent is awesome and I'm so glad I didn't have to drop a bunch of money for it.
