What do reviewers say about Nuit Noire and Black Opium?
This is white florals without the apology. The tuberose gets skanky, the leather gets warm, and somewhere between the cloves and the musk, it becomes something you either love or need to wash off.Nuit Noire
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
