What do reviewers say about Barbe à Papa and Black Opium?
There are no complications here. Strawberry, vanilla, done. But the vanilla is the kind that actually smells like a pod, not a candle, and that makes all the difference.Barbe à Papa
If you want a safe scent, look elsewhere. Black Opium announces itself with bold Orange Blossom, cools into Coffee and Jasmine intimacy, and stays close with Vanilla and Patchouli.Black Opium
