I love how The Fragrance Shop is ultra-fast about shipping. I really appreciate that. I am happy with my body oil of Black Opium. I'm thinking about getting the perfume.

This fragrance is so close to the original. It maintains the same sweetness and top notes but to my nose, it lacks the strong coffee note that made me fall in love with the original designer fragrance. However, the original had extremely poor longevity and sillage on me.
Some days, I think I catch a whiff of the coffee note but it's so fleeting it makes me wonder if my nose is playing tricks on me and projecting its desire for coffee when it's not really there. I really wish there was a stronger coffee note in the oil. The earthy bitterness mixed with the sweetness of pink pepper and vanilla would be perfect.
Does TFS ever reformulate their oils? If they ever did reformulate this to add more of a coffee note, I'd be more than happy to repurchase.

I tried the designer fragrance in perfume form, and it reddened and irritated my arm almost immediately. I really like the fragrance, but not the reaction. Fragrance Shop to the rescue again!
Although I do not think the fragrance of both the designer and the "Oil of..." are identical; I love the Fragrance Shop version, especially as it "youchless."
