The review

On paper, Black Opium Over Red is a strong bet if you want Black Opium Over Red for less.

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

At $23 it costs 84% less than Black Opium Over Red.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Value9.3
Evidence6.0

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 cherry, pear and pink pepper, turns to coffee, jasmine and orange blossom, and settles into vanilla, patchouli and cedar. That is the brief Black Opium Over Red is working from.

Top

  • cherry
  • pear
  • pink pepper

Heart

  • coffee

  • orange blossom

Base

  • vanilla
  • patchouli
  • cedar
Black cherry poured over the Black Opium coffee accord, syrupy and unapologetic.

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