The review
On paper, Black Opium Intense is a strong bet if you want Black Opium Intense for less.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Black Opium Intense's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 83% less than Black Opium Intense.
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
The original opens on pear, pink pepper and orange blossom, turns to coffee, jasmine and licorice, and settles into vanilla, patchouli and cedar. That is the brief Black Opium Intense is working from.
Top
- pear
- pink pepper
- orange blossom
Heart

Base
- vanilla
- patchouli
- cedar
Black Opium with the coffee dialled up and the projection widened, denser throughout.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
