- What does Black Opium smell like?
- Roasted coffee and vanilla up front, with orange blossom and jasmine in the heart and a warm patchouli-cedar base. It is sweet, dark and gourmand rather than fresh or floral.
- What is a tester, and is the fragrance the same?
- A tester holds the same eau de parfum as the retail bottle. It usually comes in plain packaging, often without a retail box or decorative cap.
- How long does it last?
- Most owners report six to eight hours on skin and longer on clothing. The eau de parfum is the strongest concentration in the Black Opium line.
- Is it better than the Black Opium Eau de Toilette?
- The eau de parfum is deeper and longer-lasting, with more coffee and vanilla. The eau de toilette is lighter and brighter, better for daytime or warm weather.
- Is it suitable for daytime or office wear?
- It can be, with one light spray. Its sweetness and projection are strong, so many wear it for evenings and cool weather instead.
- Who is it for?
- Adults who like sweet gourmand fragrances with a coffee note. Those who prefer fresh, citrus or green scents usually find it too heavy.
