What do reviewers say about Opera Noir and Black Opium?
The jasmine doesn't whisper. If you want something quiet and restrained, look elsewhere. But if you want a scent that announces itself, lingers long after you've left, this is it.Opera Noir
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
