What it's built to smell like
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Illicit Green is fig leaf, green notes and pear at first, coffee, jasmine and orange blossom at its heart and vanilla, patchouli and cedar at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Fig leaf and sap grafted onto the coffee-vanilla spine, oddly fresh for a Black Opium.
