Woody Sage vs Black Opium

Dossier's Woody Sage is widely praised as one of the best Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt dupes available, offering superior longevity and projection at a fraction of the price. While some find it slightly soapy or sharper than the original and note it has moderate longevity for a fragrance, the community consensus is highly positive, especially for those seeking an affordable, comparable alternative.

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.
