    Real talk

    House of Sillage went feminine and didn't apologize for it. Sweet, creamy, white floral, this is the fragrance that gets called 'soft' and 'gentle' in reviews, and that's exactly the point.Whispers of Admiration
    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
