Princess vs Black Opium

Vera Wang Princess is well-regarded as a likeable, fresh and powdery sweet fragrance that appeals to fans of girly, flirty scents. The community consensus is positive, with users noting it's a universally pleasing 'safe' choice that makes a memorable first fragrance purchase, though availability can be limited in some regions.

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.
