Reviewed profile
Coffee and cacao deepen into an almost dessert-like richness, with vanilla and patchouli thickening the base. This is the sweetest, most decadent turn of the line. Dense, dark and unrepentant.

Black Opium Extreme sits mid-range on projection, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 75th percentile for projection across 5,320 scored fragrances.
Black Opium Extreme is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 31st percentile for risk across 5,320 scored fragrances.
Black Opium Extreme feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there. That is 94th percentile for texture across 5,320 scored fragrances.
Black Opium Extreme is openly sweet, in gourmand territory. That is among the highest in the catalogue for sweetness across 5,320 scored fragrances.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
