The review

Worth a try. That is where Belle d'Opium lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Belle d'Opium.

Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Belle d'Opium's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $23 it costs 76% less than Belle d'Opium.

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 Palermo Perfumes 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: gardenia, jasmine and marigold up top, narcissus, casablanca lily and frankincense in the middle, patchouli, coffee and vanilla underneath — the shape of Yves Saint Laurent Belle d'Opium.

Top

  • gardenia
  • jasmine
  • marigold

Heart

  • narcissus
  • casablanca lily
  • frankincense

Base

  • patchouli
  • coffee
  • vanilla
Heady lily and narcissus over coffee and incense, deliberately intoxicating.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
