What do reviewers say about Nuance and Opium (1977)?
Mimosa and ylang-ylang aren't exactly crowd-pleasers. If you've never smelled either, imagine yellow petals with a slightly narcotic sweetness, this fragrance leans into that rather than softening it.Nuance
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)
