Yes, if you enjoy sweet, gourmand fragrances with a cozy feel.

Black Opium Nuit Blanche is often described as a sweeter and creamier version of the original Black Opium. Users note the prominent coffee and vanilla notes, complemented by a warm, lactonic quality from the rice and milk. This fragrance tends to be loved by those who enjoy gourmand scents, particularly in cooler weather, making it a popular choice for evening wear or special occasions.
