The review
Black Opium scores 5.8 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Black Opium.
Oil Perfumery 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 $125 per 100ml it costs 55% less than Black Opium — the 20th cheapest of 21 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oil Perfumery 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. Oil Perfumery 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.
