What do reviewers say about Black Opium and Woman?
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
Woman doesn't shout. It doesn't need to. The apple is crisp, the florals are feminine without being sweet, and the suede base adds unexpected depth. It's the kind of fragrance that gets remembered.Woman
