What Makes Black Opium Extreme Special?

-
Floral Heart: The heart of the fragrance features jasmine and orange blossom, which lend a floral sweetness, while the inclusion of licorice adds a subtle, edgy sweetness that balances the coffee.
-
Warm, Sweet Base: The base is where the fragrance becomes even more sensual, with deep notes of vanilla, bourbon, and sandalwood, combined with cashmeran for a smooth, creamy finish.
