What do reviewers say about Woman and Black Opium?
The vanilla is the point. Not the flashy kind, the kind that sits close and warm, grounding the composition. Pear and gardenia give it a modern opening that feels intentional and refined.Woman
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
