I have the OG, Extreme and a sample of Le Parfume. I find the OG to be a good all around any occasion fragrance. Extreme has added cocoa so you get a rich dark chocolate mocha scent which leans a bit like a bitter gourmand more of an evening or cold weather scent. I love the intense vanilla in Le Parfume. For me the pear and vanilla in the initial spray is so comforting but it seems to completely disappear for about 30 minutes then reappears with a cozy vanilla coffee scent and lingers for the next 4-5 hours. think I want a full bottle!
Extreme makes me so happy and gives me an inexplicably nice warm feeling deep inside my soul. Reminds me of nightime, cold weather, being out, and being madly in love. It's truly magical. I know taste is very subjective, but extreme is something else! 😍
Hi Sasha, i will certainly go for the Le Parfum why because i'm not a great fan of a coffee scent and in the Le Parfum its very subtle and it does not bother me 😊i'm gonna ad the illicit green in my collection this year because in that one i also find the coffee note very subtle. Thank you for the comparison video 🍫🤎❤🥰
I have the extreme and I love the extreme waaay better. Also, the extreme has more character to me. I have back ups. The la parfum kind of made me nauseated and you would’ve thought with all that vanilla , it would’ve lasted but it didn’t 🤷🏻♀️ I didn’t like the la parfum one
I think it really depends on the skin because I put the le parfum at 9pm, went out, then went to sleep and when I woke up I could still smell the sweetness of the vanilla
@@beatrizquendera8068 oh yeah, for sure, but on me it didn’t work but oh I so wanted it to because I love the black opium line in general, as a whole ♥️
Hey girl! So I used to have the original edp, and now have the Extreme (which I love) and Nuit Blanche (which I also love). Nuit Blanche is beautiful because it has amped up creamy, lactonic notes. (Using the added notes of rice, milk and caramel.) The downside is it really doesn't last long at all. A big bummer. (On a side note, I tend to have issue with perfumes with lactonic notes smelling sour on my skin, so I have to only spray on my hair and clothes. I do this with Blanche Bete, Remember Me and Calaluna, as well as Nuit Blanche.) I really do want to try the new Parfum. It sounds really nice. I'm very curious as to how different it really is from the original edp. If it's not vastly different I wouldn't mind too much as I don't have the original anymore anyway. Also I don't think having the Extreme version is redundant at all for those who already have the original. As it's a much darker, coffee enhanced scent. I totally see why the Extreme version is so loved. Thanks for the review!! 😊
Hi there!!! If you love La Belle from Jean Paul Gaultier, you will get that in Le parfum. Actually if you mixed La Belle with Extreme you will have Black Opium Le Parfum!
I plan to get both but I probably need to test the extreme as I also love unique bold scented fragrance. Have you tried the red version?? I am curious!
I enjoy the Le Parfum more due to my intense investigation for my signature scent. I love warm Amber and Vanilla scents. A hint of coffee makes this scent memorable but not overwhelmingly coffee. This scent also provides a sunny and fresh vibe that I am searching for as the nature lover that I am. I get headaches with to much floral, but this scent doesn’t bother me. Very addicting with a mesmerizing confidence. (30-years-old, female, single mother)
Being a vanilla lover, I just had to get the Le Parfum. It is a very nice vanilla BUT surprisingly I find it a bit boring and 'meh' 🤔 I use it quite often but mostly for layering. Don't regret buying it but I don't see myself getting a new bottle.
I have both, I love the extreme but I hate the Le parfume. Never doing a blind buy again 😅 I only smell sugar and cinnomen in the le parfume and I don't like that
Thank you so much for your video❤ I have both perfumes and really love both of them. Even though I am a vanillalover I do prefer the Extreme versjon, there is just something about it.. it must be the stronger scent of coffee☕️
Thank you Sasha, Ioved your video. I bought a small bottle of le Parfum, also because I love the bottle, and because of a couple great reviews. Tested it a while from a sample. My daughter still has a little bit left of the original BO and I love that one too. That dry drown is slightly more complex. With le Parfum you just get straight up vanilla. So I am a little hesitant. I never wear these type of fragrances, but I want a nighttime perfume, a date night perfume... I am 48 and don't want to wear a screaming scent but sweet and dark, yes;-) Any other suggestions? xxxx Sarah
Thank you! I find that the Le Parfum really gets close to the skin and around 6 hours I cannot really smell it anymore. Did you want a suggestion of a fragrance with coffee, or a good one with vanilla?
@@sashascentsMacy's had it 50% off last week and I went ahead placed order and it ended getting canceled because they ran out of it. I did get the one with peachy pink center, I tried the small bottle and bought bigger size. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I ordered last night the travel size of the OG and Over Red. I can't wait for them be delivered. Do they make a lotion at all? I would buy it in a split second.
@@r-erin2go380 Here is a tip for lotion that will save you money! Get an unscented lotion like Cera-ve or Cetaphil.... pump a medium size amount in your hand and then spray several sprays from your fragrance directly into the lotion... apply to damp skin and then finish off with a few sprays directly on your skin of the perfume! You will have the scent with you all day!
@Sasha Scents I think I will be going with the extreme, it seems to be getting the more votes from comments and yourself, I am always seeing what I can add to her collection, I just gave her yara couple of days ago, as I placed an order and it was getting alot of hype lately, she likes it, I randomly gift her perfumes.
I put not even a full spray on my wrist yesterday morning and now, the next morning I can STILL smell it even tho I have a really bad cold. I don’t think the top notes are actually that sweet, they are fruity but in a more sweet/sour sense? It obviously isn’t but it kinda smells like a more intense physalis smell, it’s quite elegant. The top notes fade quite fast sadly, but the dry down smells like a really nice cup of vanilla latte to me. At least on my skin, it’s not sugary sweet at all, more creamy with some warmer sweetness and vanilla to it. The smell it has on test strips and in perfumery’s is completely deceiving in my opinion, definitely worth a try in a neutral environment, if you like comfy, sweet yet (younger) adult scents tho.
@@hopelessx338 it sounds like too much vanilla. I want something floral, with some earthiness and some spice too. Do the top notes also fade away in the original? The top notes are the first two to three scents right?
@@Animejook I feel like the top notes take longer to fade away in the original but they to me seem WAY sweeter when they are actually on the skin. You have to smell the original on your skin, it’s not like actual coffee at all in my opinion. On me the base notes were very unpleasant and and the contrast between the sharp coffee and the extreme sweetness of the top notes, to me, is very strange. There’s a ton of people who really like black opium, but what you described to absolutely doesn’t fit black opium in general. There are flower notes, of course, but the top notes to me smell very much like a candy store. Le perfume is generally a more softer and rounder version of that. As I said, on me it very much smells much like very soft coffee with a lot of vanilla, the vanilla is definitely more elegant and less sugary sweet tho. It almost kinda reminds me of Shea butter in a sense, it’s very nice and “neutral”. Both black opiums are definitely a sweet fragrance tho, in my opinion the original is even sweeter and if you want a flowery perfume I think that black opium is not usually a good fit. The original is extremely bold in my opinion and at least to me comes across as very juvenile and borderline unpleasant on most people.
I have le parfum and I am obsessed with it, it has become my signature scent. Great video, really enjoyed it.
Aw thank you
I have the extreme, and love the smell of coffee, so it's divine!

If you took La Belle by Jean Paul Gaultier and Black Opium Extreme layered you would have Black Opium Le Parfum.
I have the “le Parfum”, I love vanilla and it makes me feel more sofisticated and not “too much in the face”, as I feel with the Extreme version
Extreme makes me so happy and gives me an inexplicably nice warm feeling deep inside my soul. Reminds me of nightime, cold weather, being out, and being madly in love. It's truly magical. I know taste is very subjective, but extreme is something else! 😍
I have all of the flankers but my favorite is the new Le parfum lovee lovee lovee it ❤

You are so welcome, thank you for watching. Yes the coffee is definitely more noticeable in the Extreme version.
Love the Black Opium Extreme. ❤ I need to get my nose on the Le Parfum.
Yes Black Opium Extreme is the best... Le Parfum is delicious smelling but lighter and gets a lot closer to the body
I have the extreme and I love the extreme waaay better. Also, the extreme has more character to me. I have back ups. The la parfum kind of made me nauseated and you would’ve thought with all that vanilla , it would’ve lasted but it didn’t 🤷🏻♀️ I didn’t like the la parfum one
Yes I personally think the extreme is the best in the line!

Hello Sasha, thanks for the review. I will go definitely for “Le Parfum” because of the vainilla’s. I loveeeee vainilla scents 🤩❤️
Then you will love this
Being a vanilla lover, I just had to get the Le Parfum. It is a very nice vanilla BUT surprisingly I find it a bit boring and 'meh' 🤔 I use it quite often but mostly for layering. Don't regret buying it but I don't see myself getting a new bottle.
Layering with it is a great idea... what do you normally layer it with?
I have both, I love the extreme but I hate the Le parfume. Never doing a blind buy again 😅
I only smell sugar and cinnomen in the le parfume and I don't like that
Thank you so much for your video❤ I have both perfumes and really love both of them. Even though I am a vanillalover I do prefer the Extreme versjon, there is just something about it.. it must be the stronger scent of coffee☕️
Yes they are both great.. one to me is more desert like with a cafe au Lait and the other is a expresso with a hint of sugar and cream!
@@sashascents Oh that is a good description! ❤️☕️
I think it would work great layered together. Black opium is great but so is le parfum. But i notice both dont last along time on me without layering.
Enjoyed your friendly, mature video .... I have the Le parfum, and adore it but it doesn't last long on my skin unfortunately
Oh no!
I love it, but I feel once I put it on, the scent is gone within the hour. I use the Black Opium Le Parfum and the extreme.
I want both of them
I sadly never pick up on the coffee notes in any of the BO flankers or original. Idk what's up with my nose but I can never smell it!
I have the extreme version as the original seemed too sweet from a sample. But I kind of miss the sweetness. 😅 still enjoy the extreme though.
The extreme has a little sweetness, the Le Parfum is much sweeter because of the juicy pear note
Too much vanilla in a perfume makes me feel nauseous. 😮

Great video again 😍🥳
You are so sweet, thank you!
I love the extreme 🔥 🔥🔥
It’s so good
I loveeeeeeee the extreme version. Got it today. I am a walking cake.
Sorry sasha i dont hear pear in le parfume , its coffe caramel close to killian black phantome
Great review❤❤❤
I have both and layer them at times.
This video will be helpful for everyone.
You are so kind, thank you
@@sashascents Welcome
Did u ever review the original one?
extreme ALL THE WAY!
AMEN!!!
Could anyone tell me if Le Parfum smells like Vanilla Woods by 7 Virtues?
How strong is the patchouli? I'm not a huge fan of patchouli but everything besides that I love.
It’s not strong… you will mostly get vanilla and coffee. Try it first at Macys or Sephora to see if you like it

Coffee 🖤🤎
I have all 3
Le perform doesn’t seem nice at all. I heard it suffers from weak longevity. And who the heck wants to smell too sweet anyways? That’s nuts

@@hopelessx338 well the original seems to different notes so to me that sounds more interesting than it smelling more on one or two things
