Real talk
Here's the thing about Dance, it's playful, sweet, and unapologetically warm. The caramel-vanilla base isn't subtle, but that's the point. This is the Shakira effect.Dance
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
