What do reviewers say about Spicy Vanilla and Black Opium?
Rituals makes scent as ritual, not statement. This one nails the powdery vanilla territory, the kind that settles close, lasts past dinner, and asks nothing of you except to enjoy it.Spicy Vanilla
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
