Real talk
A sweet-fruity that doesn't try to hide it. The repeated blueberry is the tell, it keeps coming back, holding hands with cotton candy in the drydown. Playful? Absolutely.Roua
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
