I've been really interested in this one as I'm also a fellow fig lover! Thanks for this super early review, you've definitely lowered my expectations that this probably won't have the wow factor 🙂which i'd rather know now than be hyped up and then disappointed, so thanks for the honesty!
I absolutely love fig but I don’t think it’s majorly prominent in this one unfortunately. I wanted more fig from it! I would definitely recommend sampling before buying if you have the original ❤️
I'm excited for this perfume and always love hearing your opinion!! We have such similar taste. You've convinced me to buy Lancome Lavandes Trianon blindly. 🥰😘❤😍
I love your opening and accent ☺️❤️ I love a fig note also I was hoping the fig would give a coconut vibe so that’s good! Glad I watched this because I’m not doing the hype anymore lol I think I could wait! So glad you did this! ☺️😉
Thanks so much lovely! Yeah, it’s definitely got a bit of a coconut vibe to it but it’s very similar to the original. I’m happy to have it because I don’t have the OG or any of the other flankers 💚
excited to smell this Chantel... i have yet to smell the original Black Opium again... i haven't the time to go to the mall... i am totally drawn to it because of the color... love that this is a Black Opium that is fresher and can be all year :) and for someone who doesn't own any Black Opium, this would be a good start, something different, but sill has that original DNA...
I’m really happy to have this as I don’t have the OG or any of the flankers. I prefer this one to the original but the differences are very slight. Lovely one to get if you don’t have any 💚
I was intrigued by this because of the fig but also a bit skeptical. I think this has confirmed my skepticism. I will try it though if I see it in store. I love the green colour. There needs to be more green in perfume bottles / liquids.
It’s definitely worth a smell if your in store but I do find it super similar to the original. Just a very slight green freshness. I wish the fig was more prominent 💚
The Fragrantician Gabby, I enjoy your channel so much! The beautiful and enchanting Chantal turned me on to it after you inspired her to try the wonderful Ange Oue Demon by Givenchy and made a video about it (and recommended your channel).I purchased an older bottle of it and love it (as does my less easy to please husband!). I am also a child of the 70’s ...😉💖
@@ChantelTiffany I think that is a bit disappointing...I mean, I know they can't be too different (it is a flanker after all) but some of the Alien flankers for example -are very different...But, hey - the bottle is cool - I get a Halloweeny vibe looking at it - lol!
Great review, I haven't had chance to sniff it yet. But yea you know I'm a super fan of the original 😜 it's a shame they weren't braver by the sounds of it making it a little more different
I enjoyed this as I do ALL of your videos Chantal! I’m old enough to remember original opium from the 80’s and it was such a beast fragrance back then. I understand it’’s much different now because of the inevitable changes to the formulations. From what I understand this is due to changes in availability of ingredients and restrictions to ingredients for environmental regulations and possible toxic ingredients as well. There has to be very good reason to make changes to wildly popular fragrances because of the saying that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” which is a very good old saying that continues to prove it as wisdom (like many old sayings). Personally, I hated it back then and thought it was nothing if not cloying and offensive! 😄 I have smelled it out if curiosity in Ulta (USA) more recently snd was completely mystified as it smelled absolutely nothing like the loud spicy fragrance that my sister-in-law wore daily with abandon to my chagrin. I’m glad to see you looking very well and not the worse for wear after your bout with the virus. I’m so sorry you felt so badly. Take care of yourself-it takes a while to get over a bad flu and I’m sure it is something like that . I’ve watched ALL of your videos (at least once l!) and I always cannot wait until the next one! Happy New Year and I wish you much success with your channel for 2022! Be well! Much love ! 💖💖💖
Hi Chris! Thank you, I’m so much better now and so are my husband and kids. The tiredness is still there but I’ve heard that lasts a while after. I have smelled the Opium from the 80’s, wow that was some strong juice. It is a lot more toned down now. Thanks for your continued support, I appreciate you so much 😘❤️ Hope you’re having a fantastic day 💕
Black opium since its reformulation has been completely disappointing I just won't buy any black opium flankers if you want a beautiful fig scent try L'Artisan Figuer beautiful scent! And of course Diptyque philosykos edt both made by the same perfumer! I'm looking forward to trying Amani privé Magenta Tanzanite
Not so much different than original, only a bit more fruity, sugary. Quite dissapointed as I was expecting something more original with that green colour.
Mine shipped today! I’m so excited to open up and smell💚💚💚 Something new and fresh is good for me✨🤩
I hope that you’ll absolutely love it. I love the excitement of getting a new perfume 💚😍💚
Chantel, please do a fig fragrance video sharing your faves!! I too have recently come to love a fig note 💜
Oooh, I’ll definitely do that very soon 😍❤️

Thank you😊!! I’ll be looking forward to your recommendations 💕👍🏽😃

The green caught my eye…. It’s smells really good much fresher than the original…fig❤️
It’s lovely! I do love a fig note in fragrances 💚
You look GORGEOUS! Thanks for this honest review. 👍👍👍
Thank you beautiful 😘💕💚
I'm excited for this perfume and always love hearing your opinion!! We have such similar taste. You've convinced me to buy Lancome Lavandes Trianon blindly. 🥰😘❤😍
Thank you lovely! I do hope that you’ll love Lavandes Trianon, it’s absolutely stunning in my opinion ❤️
I love a pear note! I know what you mean about it smelling coco nutty. I really enjoy when the fig note comes off that way.
Me too! It definitely has a slight coconut vibe. I love fig in fragrances 😍❤️
I love your opening and accent ☺️❤️ I love a fig note also I was hoping the fig would give a coconut vibe so that’s good! Glad I watched this because I’m not doing the hype anymore lol I think I could wait! So glad you did this! ☺️😉

Another great video chantel
Thank you 💚
You look absolutely stunning my friend 🤗🤗
Hello lovely! Thanks so much 😘❤️
I love black opium OG.....there's none others that interest me except floral shock which I used to own. This sounds OK 👍
This is so similar to the original. You definitely wouldn’t need both of them. I don’t think I’ve tried Floral Shock ❤️

@@chrismahfouz7709 Gabi is fantastic! Beautiful inside and out ❤️ I’m happy you love her channel too 😀
Excited to hear your thoughts! I’ve got this one on the way! 💚💚💚 love your look today 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Thanks very much beautiful 💚💚💚
Great, honest review...Yeah, it just sounds like a maybe more summery Black Opium. Thanks for reviewing it for us! xox
Thanks very much! There’s a tiny bit of fresh, greenness in the opening but other than that it’s so similar to the original 💚

@@sarawilliams5464 I totally agree! The bottle is beautiful, I love it. A bit more of the fig would have been perfect in this 💚
Illicit Green sounds like my cup of coffee! The fruits with the coffee note, yes please! Great review and comparison Chantel! 💚💚
Thanks very much 💚💚💚
I tried it today and I agree that it is very, very similar to OG Black Opium but maybe a bit better
Yes, I do prefer this one. I wish the fig was more prominent 💚
Great review, I haven't had chance to sniff it yet. But yea you know I'm a super fan of the original 😜 it's a shame they weren't braver by the sounds of it making it a little more different
Thank you. I wish the fig was a bit more prominent. It’s super similar to the original in my opinion. I do like it though 💚
Great review gorgeous! 💚💚💚Very interesting! I think I still would like to get my nose on this one🥰
Thank you lovely 💚💚💚
Thanks so much for sharing. I'll still get Mt nose on it just out of curiosity, but I have enough flankers and this one doesn't sound with the add.
It’s definitely worth sniffing but I think it’s too similar to the original. I’d love to know your thoughts on it when you’ve tried it 😘💚
Great video.
Thank you beautiful 💚
I just bought this, it was love at first sniff. I don't have the original. Lol
It’s a good one, I like this better than the original. I’m happy that you’re loving it 💚
I do like fig note in fragrances. I hope I could put my nose on it soon!
Awesome review as always 💞😍
Thanks so much lovely 💚
Amazing review even though I don't enjoy Black Opium this flanker sounds interesting and I do like a fig note 💚
I prefer it to the original but it is super similar 💚💚💚
I keep looking for this and we still don't have it in the U.S.! 😩
That’s such a shame! Hopefully soon 💚
I'm thinking of emerald City from that bottle.....
I can see that now 🤣💚
Hello beautiful chantel here catching up and watching
Hello Pat ❤️
I love that bottle
It’s so lovely 💚

I find it so fascinating that the scent profile was designed in collaboration with a bartender.
I read about that and was meant to mention it in the video 💚
Wow~😊
Very great video.
Thanks for sharing.
I want to be a warm neighbor.
Have a day full of love and happy🧡🧡😊💕🌺💯

I can’t wait for the new Armani Prive fragrances either! The notes sound good so I hope they’re nice 😍❤️
May I ask what lipstick you are wearing ?
Hi, it’s Charlotte Tilbury Lip Pencil in Iconic Nude and Penelope Pink Lipstick 😀
@@ChantelTiffany Thank you ! 🥰
Ooh, sounds good. I have never owned any of black opium. Love your green outfit 💚
Thanks very much Louise 💚
@@ChantelTiffany I've just ordered a little 30ml. 😊
@@louisefisher9959 Let me know what you think 💚
@@ChantelTiffany Arrived today, very happy blind buy 😊. I can rely on your expert nose & excellent descriptions. 😍
@@louisefisher9959 I’m so happy that you like it. It is a lovely fragrance! I don’t own any of the others either so I’m really loving having it 😀❤️
I think I'll pass on it.....what a shame 😕
I don’t think you need it if you have the OG 🖤
Look at you looking all st trinians girl vibe.....now let's see yet another flanker lol 😆
💚💚💚
Not so much different than original, only a bit more fruity, sugary. Quite dissapointed as I was expecting something more original with that green colour.
I know, it’s very similar to the original. I was hoping for more too 💚
