FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Mayar Cherry scores 7.1 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Black Opium.

Lattafa 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 $35 per 100ml it costs 88% less than Black Opium — the 8th cheapest of 21 twins we can price.

Value9.8
Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Lattafa 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

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is pink pepper, orange blossom and pear at first, coffee, jasmine and bitter almond at its heart and vanilla, patchouli and cedar at the end. Lattafa set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • pink pepper
  • orange blossom
  • pear

  • coffee

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