What do reviewers say about Fructus Virginis and Black Opium?
The cherry-almond pairing is the whole point, and it earns every bit of love it gets. Sweet enough to be noticed, dry enough to be taken seriously. At this price.Fructus Virginis
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
