What do reviewers say about Illicit Flower and Black Opium?
This is the fragrance that gets called 'generic' by people who've never had to choose their own. Fruity-floral done right, soft enough to wear every day, interesting enough to remember.Illicit Flower
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
