What wearers say

“I love this scent
 but it doesn’t last!!!! Over red smells like twin peaks, cherries, coffee and lipstick. it’s just a shame that this lasts about 2 hours on me and then poof it’s gone. If this lasted longer i would wear this all of the time, but because of this i never ever reach for it. When i do wear this, i mix it with vanilla sin from ellis brooklyn which helps with the longevity a liiiiittle bit
. but not enough lol.It just makes me a little sad because the rest of the black opium line lasts all day on me. beautiful idea, mid execution.”

“i adoreeeee this one. it's a full-bodied scent, with a yummy initial cherry with coffee, tea, and patchouli. really addictive! i usually don't like patchouli, but this one gives it a sort of powerful weight. it lasts on my scarf (hello winter) as a sweet vanilla, albeit nothing else. i usually spray it twice in the morning, then once or twice in the evening. i haven't tried this one in the summer, but I've been wearing it in both the day and night in winter. i agree though- the cherry does not last long.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“This fragrance smells like the original Black Opium, but with added cherry gummies and without the synthetic smell in the background that I dislike. It's also not as dense as the original and not nearly as strong, which is a plus for me. I'd say this flanker is more of a fun and playful version of the original.”
