What do reviewers say about Sweet Rose and Black Opium?
Rose without the syrup. Warmth without the performance. Sweet Rose makes the case for florals that don't apologize for themselves. It's the kind of fragrance that wears well across contexts.Sweet Rose
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
