The review
Strong contender. That is where Opium lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Opium.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Opium's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 79% less than 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: mandarin orange, coriander and plum up top, myrrh, jasmine and rose in the middle, opoponax, labdanum and sandalwood underneath — the shape of Yves Saint Laurent Opium.
Top
- mandarin orange
- coriander
- plum
Heart
- myrrh
- jasmine

Base

Clove, myrrh and resins in a dense golden cloud, opulent and gloriously unsubtle.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
