Real talk
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 coffee note is what separates this from a dozen sweet roses. Rose flirt. Coffee commitment. If you've been burned by overly powdery florals, this one earned its name.Tempting Rose
