Secret Genius לעומת Black Opium

Secret Genius by Pinrose is highly praised by the community as a delicious, long-lasting gourmand fragrance that appeals strongly to vanilla and caramel lovers. However, its discontinuation and premium price point make it increasingly difficult for interested users to purchase, leading to frustration among fans trying to find it.

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.
