The review
Worth a try. That is where Powerful Noire For Women lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Black Opium Intense.
Perfume Parlour 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.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 18% less than Black Opium Intense — the 2nd cheapest of 3 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
What it is chasing: pear, pink pepper and orange blossom up top, coffee, jasmine and licorice in the middle, vanilla, patchouli and cedar underneath — the shape of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Intense.
Top
- pear

Heart

Black Opium with the coffee dialled up and the projection widened, denser throughout.
