    Real talk

    Four notes, no gimmicks. The apricot blossom does the heavy lifting while sandalwood keeps things from turning saccharine. It is what it is, and honestly, that restraint is refreshing.Calembour
    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
