Flash vs Black Opium

The community views Flash as a decent budget-friendly entry into tuberose fragrances, but criticizes its weak longevity and lack of originality. Most enthusiasts recommend investing in higher-quality tuberose options like Fracas or Carnal Flower for serious fragrance collectors.

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.
