Real talk
Saba is not a safe blind buy. The coffee opening is bold, the licorice heart is polarizing, and the drydown leans gourmand-sweet on some skin. Sample first, commit second.Saba
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
