    Real talk

    Cafe Parfums went light with Cafeina, a coffee house flirting with florals instead of doubling down on the bean. Peony-forward, close to the skin, and gone by evening.Cafeina
    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
