The review
Strong contender. That is where Yara Elixir lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to 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 $50 per 100ml it costs 82% less than Black Opium — the 12th cheapest of 21 twins we can price.
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
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

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