What do reviewers say about Opera Noir and Black Opium Floral Shock?
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
The iced coffee note is what you're here for. It's a distinctive element that sets this apart from the original Black Opium. Fruity florals on top, coffee underneath, sweet enough to want.Black Opium Floral Shock
