Soleil לעומת Black Opium

Lalique Soleil is a well-regarded but underrated fragrance praised for its beautiful bottle and distinctive gourmand profile. Community members appreciate its almond, caramel, and coffee accords as autumn staples, though the gap between its summery branding and actual heavier composition surprises many first-time wearers.

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.
