What do reviewers say about Mon Guerlain and Black Opium?
Not another sweet vanilla. Mon Guerlain earns its sweetness from lavender's coolness cutting through the warmth, the herbaceous bite that keeps the vanilla from going flat.Mon Guerlain
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
