Real talk
This is the fragrance that says you're dressed for something, even if it's just dinner for one. Sweet and boozy in a way that could tip into syrup on the wrong skin, but when it lands.Forever Red
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
