The review

Worth a try. That is where Irresistible lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Black Opium.

AromaPassions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Black Opium's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $69 per 100ml it costs 75% less than Black Opium — the 15th cheapest of 21 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength AromaPassions publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: pink pepper, orange blossom and pear up top, coffee, jasmine and bitter almond in the middle, vanilla, patchouli and cedar underneath — the shape of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium.

Top

  • pink pepper
  • orange blossom
  • pear

Heart

  • coffee
  • jasmine
  • bitter almond

Base

  • vanilla
  • patchouli
  • cedar
For the after-hours. Black coffee and white flowers pour over vanilla and patchouli — sweet, addictive, unmistakably night.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
