Real talk
Rare Emeralds doesn't announce itself. The green geranium hits first, almost astringent, creating a crisp opening. Jasmine brings warmth and white rose adds softness as the fragrance develops.Rare Emeralds
Opium polarizes for good reason. It smells like nothing modern, clinging to vintage lovers and terrifying everyone else. The clove and carnation heart is gorgeous if you can handle the initial.Opium (1977)
