I Want Choo vs Black Opium

I Want Choo by Jimmy Choo receives strong community praise for its seductive, compliment-generating qualities and intoxicating character. Multiple users report being frequently complimented and approached about the scent despite it not always being their personal favorite. The fragrance is noted as versatile enough to appeal beyond typical scent preferences, with a profile reminiscent of Valentino's Born In Roma.

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.
