    Real talk

    This is the fragrance for someone who wants sweet without feeling precious about it. The vanilla in the drydown is unapologetic, but the starfruit-grapefruit opening keeps it from becoming dessert.Guess By Marciano
    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
