The review
On paper, Black Opium Over Red is a reasonable bet if you want Black Opium Over Red for less.
The Essence Vault 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.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 77% less than Black Opium Over Red — the cheapest of 6 twins we can price.
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 The Essence Vault 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
The original opens on cherry, pear and pink pepper, turns to coffee, jasmine and orange blossom, and settles into vanilla, patchouli and cedar. That is the brief Black Opium Over Red is working from.

Base

Black cherry poured over the Black Opium coffee accord, syrupy and unapologetic.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
