What do reviewers say about Love Star and Black Opium?
The rum note is unexpected in a fruity-floral, it's what separates this from a dozen apple-bombs. If you've been burned by overly sweet designer releases, this one leans warm and woody instead.Love Star
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
