The review
Worth a try. That is where Pure Grace lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Black Opium Illicit Green.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Black Opium Illicit Green's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $64 per 100ml it costs 49% less than Black Opium Illicit Green — the cheapest of 1 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.

What it is chasing: fig leaf, green notes and pear up top, coffee, jasmine and orange blossom in the middle, vanilla, patchouli and cedar underneath — the shape of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Illicit Green.

Fig leaf and sap grafted onto the coffee-vanilla spine, oddly fresh for a Black Opium.
