What do reviewers say about Classique Eau d'Ete 2003 and Black Opium?
Most summer flankers play it safe. This one doesn't. The cassis-mandarin opening is brief, sunny, done, then vanilla takes over and stays. That contrast is the whole point.Classique Eau d'Ete 2003
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
