    Real talk

    Not a statement fragrance. The kind that lingers after you've already left the room. Sweet enough to feel indulgent, warm enough to stay. Coffee grounds the praline.Desirable
    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
