Real talk
Here's the thing about Be Tempted: it's unapologetically sweet. An earthy current of patchouli and resinous myrrh keeps the sweetness from becoming one-note.DKNY Be Tempted
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
