What do reviewers say about Vanilla Sky and Black Opium?
This one earns its name. The coffee note keeps the vanilla from going candy-sweet, and that caramelized cedar in the base is what you keep catching hours later.Vanilla Sky
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
