Black Opium

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, roasted and bittersweet, like fresh espresso.

It opens on pear, pink pepper and orange blossom, moves through coffee, jasmine and bitter almond, and settles on vanilla, patchouli and cashmere wood.

• pear: light watery sweetness with a green crispness
• pink pepper: light rosy pepper that sparkles rather than burns

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
