What do reviewers say about Possess and Black Opium?
Possess earns a second look. The pineapple-grapefruit fizz is energetic, but underneath: ylang-ylang's creamy warmth, vanilla that smells like a pod.Possess
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
