What do reviewers say about Sweet and Black Opium?
Sweet earns its name honestly. The marshmallow and white amber give it genuine gourmand warmth, but the orris and ambrette keep it from sliding into candy territory. This is polished sweetness.Sweet
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
