What do reviewers say about Flowerbomb and Black Opium?
Sweet enough to stop someone mid-conversation. Warm enough to mean it. Flowerbomb isn't subtle, and that's exactly the point. It's the choice for when you want to be remembered, not just liked.Flowerbomb
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
