What do reviewers say about Pure Love and Black Opium?
Some will catch the synthetic edge in the opening. Most won't care. The rose here isn't romantic, it's radiant. Like someone who figured out early that kindness without edge is forgettable.Pure Love
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
