    Real talk

    This fragrance is for people who like their florals warm, not washed out. The ylang-ylang doesn't whisper, it lingers. Vanilla keeps it grounded. A fruity opening that flirts.Vanille Ylang Ylang
    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
