If I like perfumes like La Vie est Belle & Opium Black, but want one that lasts longer/has better sillage (Opium Black is espeially bad for this) what shoudl I be considering?

The only one that lasts on me is you by glossier. It's not a strong scent though, I don't wear it at night time.

Based on what you've said you like OP I would try Tom ford (maybe black orchid - it's like opium but a million times better)

If you like vanilla, Lalique le Parfum has great sillage -- OH has been known to notice it from two floors up in the house.

I love Youth Dew - I try other perfumes and always go back to Youth Dew and get so many complements on it. I usually alternate between that and Ysatis.

I hate to say that my Mum used to wear Youth Dew and my sister and I callled it Youth Spew. Sorry Blush

Have you tried a sample box from the Perfume Society OP? It's a good way of testing scents out. https://perfumesociety.org/shop-now/ I've tried a couple and found scents that I'd nearly ordered blind were awful in reality and saved myself a few hundred £s in the process.
