    Real talk

    Café Du Jour doesn't play it safe. The butter and milk don't sweeten it. They ground it. Coffee in this composition isn't a footnote or a fleeting top note, it's the main event.Café Du Jour
    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
