    Five notes. That's it. And somehow it pulls off sweet flirtation and quiet confidence at the same time. The saffron adds a spice that keeps the vanilla from going full dessert, it stays wearable.Birthday Sex
    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
