What do reviewers say about French Coffee and Black Opium?
French Coffee isn't trying to be sophisticated. It's trying to be that warm mug you cradle on a slow afternoon, the one that actually tastes like coffee. Mission accomplished, and then some.French Coffee
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
