Opium Black sits mid-range on projection, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle.
Opium Black is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure.
Opium Black arrives seamless, as a single impression rather than parts.
Opium Black is openly sweet, in gourmand territory.
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.
