Dark Opium Of Red hits with the juicy intensity of Cherry, where a dark, almost syrupy fruitiness meets the roasted depth of Coffee. The contrast is immediate; bright and mouthwatering on one side, deep and addictive on the other, giving the opening a rich character that feels made for after-dark moments. As the scent settles, Jasmine brings a smooth white-floral touch, softening the darker edges without taking away their intensity.
The heart becomes warmer and creamier as Jasmine lingers against the skin, while the Coffee slowly melts into the sweetness underneath. The Cherry remains present throughout, giving the floral heart a luscious red-fruit character that keeps the fragrance feeling vibrant rather than overly heavy.
Vanilla takes over in the dry down, leaving a creamy sweetness beneath the lingering Cherry and Coffee. Dark Opium Of Red captures that irresistible contrast of juicy fruit, dark Coffee, and sensual Vanilla, making it a perfect alternative as YSL Black Opium dupe for nights when you want something bold and unforgettable. 🍒

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 25 reviews.
months of waiting for it to come back in stock, one day i looked at it and it was still out of stock but i got an email with a link shortly after.. and i was able to get a bottle finally! as it was on the way i started getting nervous because of some reviews but let me say when i got the bottle it's EXACTLY the smell but even stronger. point blank period. also the best atomizer ive ever seen im not sure if its the same on all models but hopefully so- 5 stars 10/10 and they pack it so well there's no chance it'll ever get broken, have a knife ready to get to your bottle
This scent opens with an intense burst of dark cherry, the kind that smells juicy, ripe, and dripping with sweetness. The cherry isn’t candy-like—it’s more of a deep, ruby-red fruit note that leans seductive and slightly mysterious. Wrapped around that opening is a warm, roasted coffee accord, giving the fragrance its signature addictive edge. The combination feels like stepping into a dimly lit lounge where fruit, spice, warmth, and a touch of danger mingle in the air.
DOR is by far my favorite flanker and this is a great version. It came ready to wear. No need to macerate, but I think it will continue to get better and better.
This fragrance is a sultry twist on a modern gourmand. It opens with a burst of juicy black cherry that feels both tart and sweet, then deepens into velvety floral notes and rich, roasted coffee. As it settles, smooth vanilla and warm woods wrap around the cherry, giving it a creamy yet slightly dark edge. The result is playful, seductive, and a little mysterious—like a cocktail of fruit, sweetness, and midnight warmth.
I love the OG but too expensive so I got this one and it is so good! Like the OG but brighter and stronger! Love it. Can’t wait for fall and winter date nights for this 🍒 ☕️
THE best cherry fragrance in my personal opinion. Sexy, sweet, playful, potent and delicious! She projects beautifully and is super easy to wear on her own or layered!
This is spot on except this one lasts longer than the OG. Neither are projection beasts but that's okay they're not meant to be. Sexy, dark vanilla, smidge of creamy coffee with a warm gooey cherry on top. I just wish they would do an inspiration of the Le Parfum version which is the best in the line, imo. This smells like the Le Parfum with cherry.
Wow this one is amazing. I have been obsessed with the OG and was asking for a remake and when they dropped that it was coming out I was super excited. She smells so beautiful and the longevity is amazing. I get so many compliments with this one. The cherry and the coffee go perfect together. One of my top 5 DUA's for sure.
The jury is still out on this one. I'm going to let her sit and wait until I get the full potential of this perfume. I don't know how I feel about her yet
The beginning doesn’t smell like the og much but once it settles in a couple seconds it smells just like it!! Waited for this to restock for so long it’s amazing
Excellent! I was waiting for it to come back in stock and glad I snagged it when I did! This smells better than the OG. I had the OG before, and I knew I would be buying this eventually, so I sold it. Not mad about that at all - this has more of the cherry note and less of a strong coffee. It's a delicious dark gourmand.
This is 10x better than the og. The cherry note is more prominent and last much longer during wear in dua’s version. It’s a sweet bright cherry, so good 🍒🍒
10x better than the og which I own but prefer the dua version as the cherry note is stronger and last longer in the fragrance. And it’s not like the medicinal cherry that’s in Tom Ford lost cherry, its a sweet cherry which smells so good!
