No.030 Dupe: Eden Perfumes Take on Black Opium

This page compares Eden Perfumes No.030 with Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium, using Black Opium’s documented note pyramid as the reference point.

What Is Eden Perfumes No.030 a Dupe For?

Eden Perfumes No.030 is marketed as inspired by Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium. That makes the YSL fragrance the reference point for this dupe comparison: the useful question is not whether No.030 is the original, but whether its positioning aims at the Black Opium style of fragrance buyer. It is not the original fragrance, and it is not sold as one.

Because Eden Perfumes’ own composition for No.030 is not documented in the data used here, we do not treat the No.030 note list as known. Any notes on this page describe Black Opium only. If you are researching an affordable alternative, read the note pyramid as a guide to the target profile rather than as a confirmed formula for the Eden Perfumes product.

Which Original Notes Define Black Opium?

The documented Black Opium profile is: Top notes: pear, pink pepper, orange blossom. Heart notes: coffee, jasmine, bitter almond, licorice. Base notes: vanilla, patchouli, cashmere wood, cedar. Documented accords: vanilla, coffee, sweet, warm spicy, white floral.

That pyramid frames the original around a sweet, coffee-led and white-floral direction, with warm spice and woods in the reference profile. For a No.030 comparison, these names are the reference vocabulary: they help you understand what Eden Perfumes is pointing toward when it markets No.030 in relation to Black Opium. They should not be read as Eden Perfumes’ own confirmed note declaration.

How Should You Read This Dupe Comparison?

A dupe page is best used as a buying-research shortcut, not as proof of a one-to-one copy in feel. The claim here is about inspiration and market positioning: Eden Perfumes presents No.030 in connection with Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium, so this page gathers the verified reference information for Black Opium in one place.

The practical takeaway is simple: if Black Opium’s documented profile of pear, pink pepper, orange blossom, coffee, jasmine, bitter almond, licorice, vanilla, patchouli, cashmere wood and cedar is what drew you to the original, No.030 is the Eden Perfumes product positioned in that direction. You would still be choosing an Eden Perfumes fragrance, not a YSL bottle.

How Do We Verify the Inspiration Claim?

We verify pages like this by separating the claim from the note data. First, we look for the house’s own statement that a product is inspired by, or marketed as an alternative to, a named fragrance. We may also weigh independent community or press mentions when they form part of the evidence trail. For this entry, the recorded claim basis is house-marketed-as: Eden Perfumes’ positioning links No.030 with Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium.

The confidence level is high because the connection is direct enough for the page to identify Black Opium as the verified original reference. That confidence does not turn No.030 into the YSL fragrance, and it does not create a documented No.030 note pyramid. It simply tells you that the comparison rests on a clear inspiration claim.
