The review
Drunk Queen 242 LORINNA scores 6.6 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Black Opium.
Lorinna Paris 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 13th cheapest of 23 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 Lorinna Paris 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. Lorinna Paris set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

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.
