Real talk
The tuberose here isn't polite. It doesn't ask permission. But the vetiver, rugged, untamed, all root, keeps it from floating away entirely. That's the tension worth wearing.Ivoire
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
