- How does Illicit Green differ from original Black Opium?
- It adds green mandarin, fig leaf and pear on top and keeps the coffee, vanilla and patchouli base. The result is fresher and less sweet, though clearly related.
- How long does it last?
- Most wearers get a few hours of clear scent, then a softer skin scent. Expect to reapply for an evening out.
- Is it too sweet for daytime?
- It is still a gourmand, but the green citrus and fig make it lighter than the original. Many wear it to brunch and in warm weather.
- Is it alcohol-free?
- The listing describes it as non-alcoholic. Check the bottle or box for the current formulation if that matters to you.
- Who is it for?
- It suits women who like Black Opium's coffee-vanilla base but want something greener and less heavy. It is not a safe blind buy if you dislike fig.
- What are the main notes?
- Green mandarin, fig leaf and pear up top; fig, jasmine and orange blossom in the middle; coffee, vanilla and patchouli at the base.
