Reviewed profile
A pared-back Black Opium, coffee and vanilla wrapped in soft white flowers. Warm, sweet and creamy, it keeps the addictive core with less clutter. Plush and comforting.

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.
