The review

Opium Rouge 2157 scores 5.7 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Black Opium Over Red.

Perfume Parlour 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.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $83 per 100ml it costs 29% less than Black Opium Over Red — the 5th cheapest of 6 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour 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 Over Red is cherry, pear and pink pepper at first, coffee, jasmine and orange blossom at its heart and vanilla, patchouli and cedar at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
