What People Say

Afnan 9PM Pour Femme

One wearer enjoys its raspberry-and-apple freshness over soft woods.

Another wearer finds the hard-candy sweetness enjoyable rather than offensive.

One wearer finds the opening metallic and the overall scent too fresh and woody.

Another finds the rose too dominant for their taste.

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium

One wearer explicitly prefers the original EDP for its vanilla-and-coffee character.

Another original-version owner describes a fruity, dark-latte impression.

One sampler finds the normal edition mostly white floral and wants a more noticeable coffee note.

The Verdict

Choose 9PM Pour Femme for sweet fruit, rose and a cedar-and-pine base. Choose Black Opium for vanilla, white flowers and a coffee accent. The deciding feature is the scent direction: fruity floral woods or a sweeter coffee-floral composition.
