Real talk
The opening is fruity and approachable, but don't mistake that for polite. The black musk base arrives like a whisper at the end of a sentence you didn't expect. It's not loud. It doesn't need to be.Black Musk
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
