What it actually smells like

Black Opium opens with sweet pear and bright mandarin before rich black coffee quickly becomes the star of the fragrance. Vanilla softens the coffee with a creamy sweetness, while orange blossom and white flowers add a smooth floral lift. As it dries down, patchouli, cedarwood and white musk create a warm, long-lasting trail that's both comforting and addictive.
