What is ALDI Dark Blossom a dupe for?

ALDI’s Dark Blossom perfume is a great dupe for YSL’s Black Opium thanks to their similar notes of Orange Blossom, Patchouli and Coffee.

The OG: Black Opium Eau De Parfum, £53.57, YSL

Yves Saint Laurent’s Black Opium is a fragrance that blends addictive notes of coffee with sweet vanilla, creating an intense and appealing aroma. Introduced in 2014, its modern and bold scent exudes sensuality, combining floral notes with rich, oriental warmth.

The Dupe: Lacura Dark Blossom Eau de Parfum, ALDI

The trending alternative for Black Opium has similar notes of pink pepper, orange blossoms, jasmine, and coffee. Originally priced at £5.99, this dupe is sadly sold out online but it can also be purchased on several reselling websites like eBay. As ALDI’s perfumes are so good, this is often the case but it’s definitely worth spending a little bit extra to get your hands on these affordable alternatives.

Scent

The Dark Blossom is a perfect mix of pink pepper and orange blossom alongside sweet jasmine and coffee for that extra kick of energy and sweetness.

Is ALDI Dark Blossom worth it?

Yes, Dark Blossom is totally worth it. If we were to put both fragrances into unmarked bottles and spritz them in the air, it’d be tough to distinguish between the two. One thing I noticed after buying a bottle myself is that the scent of Dark Blossom tends to fade away quicker than its luxury counterpart but that’s an easy problem to solve.

Considering how quickly ALDI’s perfumes fly off the shelves, the prices are quite reasonable. You have to be quick if you want to get them at their original price of £6.99 though, but even if you’re spending near £20 for an 100ml bottle, I’d still say it’s worth it over spending over £50 for a 30ml bottle.
