    Real talk

    Sweet Oriental fragrances often go loud and never let up. Rawaa starts with coffee's bitterness to ground the indulgence, the sweetness earns its presence rather than demanding it.Rawaa
    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
