What do reviewers say about Prada Candy and Black Opium?
The sweetest thing in the room, but never the loudest. That's the trick, caramel and powder play off each other so well you stop noticing the sweetness and start noticing the warmth underneath.Prada Candy
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
