What do reviewers say about Colors de Benetton (Original) and Opium Vapeurs de Parfum?
The green opening is proper here, built on basil and sage rather than a citrus shortcut. It's an honest start that doesn't try to be anything other than what it is.Colors de Benetton (Original)
The name carries weight. Opium doesn't do demure, except here. This is a 2012 reinterpretation that takes the original in a different direction.Opium Vapeurs de Parfum
