What do reviewers say about Black Opium and Anhaar Dune?
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
Most gourmand fragrances play it safe. Anhaar Dune doesn't. The ambergris in the base adds a warm, animal depth that shifts the whole composition, sweet enough to comfort, animal enough to intrigue.Anhaar Dune
