What do reviewers say about Banana Foster and Black Opium?
This is a dessert you wear. Unapologetically sweet, unapologetically fun. The banana and rum duet is what people come for, and it's the kind of sweetness that doesn't need defending.Banana Foster
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
