What Wearers Say

Rasasi Chastity Woman

One wearer enjoys the soft, soapy floral character with a subtle citrus impression.

Another owner describes a calm, jasmine-led scent.

That jasmine-focused owner finds its staying power disappointing.

A different owner eventually finds the soapy character overwhelmingly strong in summer.

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

Black Opium is our pick for a sweet evening scent, and Chastity Woman is the one for daytime. Rasasi's list is green and watery notes, then jasmine, orange flower and rose over musk: clean, watery flowers. Black Opium is coffee, white flowers and vanilla, dark and sugary. They share white flowers but little else.
