Quick take
AI-assisted summary of the notes, prices and community notes listed on this page; no bottle was smelled. How this site is made
Start with the Dossier "Ambery Vanilla" Eau de Parfum, at $0.52/ml the cheapest option on file. All seven dupes here are listed on a seller-claim basis only, so there is no community consensus to rank against — the field is unranked. Dossier is also the most fully documented house on this list, with three separate SKUs (Eau de Parfum, candle, diffuser) each carrying a stated price and format, so it's a reasonable starting point over single-listing entries like Dua Fragrances' Dark Opium Glitter, which has no price on file at all.
The data lists notes only for the original (vanilla, coffee, jasmine, pear, pink pepper, cedarwood, floral notes, mandarin, orange blossom, patchouli) — none of the dupe listings have notes on file, so there is no way to confirm from this data whether the coffee-gourmand core or the florals carry over in any of them. Since every dupe here rests on a seller's inspired-by claim rather than verified comparison, treat resemblance as unconfirmed until tested.

How to read this table
A seller claim means the clone house itself published that the product is inspired by Black Opium. We quote the claim; we have not smelled the bottles. A community pairing means the seller does not name the original and the match comes from reviewer consensus, graded close or moderate.
Price per ml is the honest comparison. Perfume oils look cheap per bottle but come in 10 ml vials; a 100 ml Middle-Eastern EDP at $35 is $0.35/ml and usually the strongest performer in the group. Extraits from clone houses sit in between.
