    What do reviewers say about Spicy Vanilla and Black Opium?

    Sweet enough, but not simple. That spicy opening, the ginger, the anise, it flips expectations before the honey even has a chance to smooth things out. Then vanilla arrives and refuses to leave.Spicy Vanilla
    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
