    Real talk

    Vanilla Sin does not open like a typical vanilla fragrance. Black cherry hits first with a tart, almost medicinal snap before vanilla takes over, making this a scent that earns its name.Vanilla Sin
    The opening is fruit-forward and bold, but the heart is where this gets interesting. Jasmine and orange blossom with black tea create something more complex than a typical sweet scent.Black Opium Over Red
