The review

Black Opium scores 5.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Black Opium.

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

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

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dupe Spot 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 is pink pepper, orange blossom and pear at first, coffee, jasmine and bitter almond at its heart and vanilla, patchouli and cedar at the end. The Dupe Spot set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • pink pepper
  • orange blossom
  • pear

Heart

  • coffee
  • jasmine
  • bitter almond

Base

  • vanilla
  • patchouli
  • cedar
For the after-hours. Black coffee and white flowers pour over vanilla and patchouli — sweet, addictive, unmistakably night.

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