    What do reviewers say about Purple Lady and Black Opium?

    Coffee and vanilla is a familiar pairing, but Purple Lady adds orange blossom and the whole thing goes somewhere unexpected. Sweet without being sugary. Warm without being heavy.Purple Lady
    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
