What do reviewers say about Sci Fi and Black Opium?
Sci Fi is not trying to impress you. The citrus opening is brief, the green tea heart is the real engine here, and the vanilla cashmere wood drydown is where it lives.Sci Fi
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
