Is Dana Tabu ($12–$25) worth it?
Against Yves Saint Laurent Opium (1977), Dana Tabu scores accuracy 6 — same-vibe rather than a twin. Worth it as an affordable take on the style, not as a one-to-one replacement.
Approx. $123 less than the original
A true-budget vintage-oriental in the original Opium family — spicy, dense and long-lasting. Same-DNA rather than an exact 1:1 of the discontinued 1977 formula.
