Couture Couture לעומת Black Opium

The r/fragrance community views Couture Couture as an underrated fragrance with genuine complexity and pleasant floral notes that personalize well on skin, despite its questionable branding. While appreciated for its scent profile and wear longevity, the main criticism is that projection diminishes throughout the day, making it better suited for intimate wear rather than all-day projection needs.

Black Opium by YSL is recognized by the r/fragrance community as a popular statement fragrance choice, particularly mentioned as an example of a bold evening scent. While it has dedicated fans who appreciate its strong projection and distinctive character, the community acknowledges it's polarizing and not suitable for everyday or versatile wear, with some finding it overly sweet or artificial depending on skin chemistry.
