These describe how the fragrance is generally reported to behave. Skin chemistry, weather and how much you apply all change it, so your own experience may differ.

Reviewed profile

Coffee and vanilla turn creamier and softer here, wrapped in white flowers and clean musk. It's the sweetest, most caressing version of the theme. Warm, plush and pillowy.

The Familiar Place

Found something that feels like home and never left.

Connection to yourself, your home, your people is what you are all about. The fragrance found you as much as you found it. May those connections remain firm.

Reviewed profile. This profile has received a focused catalogue review.

Warmthwarm, close0.85

Black Opium Nuit Blanche reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 96th percentile for warmth across 5,320 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.56

Black Opium Nuit Blanche 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 71st percentile for projection across 5,320 scored fragrances.

Riskfamiliar0.22

Black Opium Nuit Blanche is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 21st percentile for risk across 5,320 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.62

Black Opium Nuit Blanche carries body without weight, present without filling a room. That is 76th percentile for texture across 5,320 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessgourmand0.95

Black Opium Nuit Blanche 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.
