Black Opium Le Parfum

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on cinnamon, pear and green mandarin, moves through jasmine sambac, solar notes and orange blossom, and settles on madagascar vanilla, bourbon vanilla and vanilla absolute.

• cinnamon: hot sweet baking spice
• pear: light watery sweetness with a green crispness

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.
