What do reviewers say about Black Opium and Oriental Delice?
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
The reviews are honest: jasmine and white chocolate carry this. Coffee opens bright, then vanishes like it was never there. If you've wanted to smell edible without going full sugar bomb.Oriental Delice
