What do reviewers say about Olympéa and Black Opium?
Salted vanilla in a mainstream fragrance still catches people off guard. The aquatic jasmine and ginger keep things interesting. Cashmere wood in the base gives it lasting presence without heaviness.Olympéa
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
