The bottle of Yves Saint Laurent I have is 30ml and the Zara is a limited edition that is 200ml.

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium

Zara Gardenia

The Zara perfume smells very similar, it just isn't as strong as the YSL however at the fraction of the price you can reapply as many times through the day in which I do this with my perfume.
