Pros & Cons

  • ✅ I love the cherry in this. it's like a cherry compote and so delicious.
  • ✅ Black Opium Over Red is stunning. The cherry is, although dense and sweet, sophisticated and realistic.
  • ✅ This might be the best thing I've ever smelled. It's STUNNING.
  • ❌ I wanted to love this. The orange blossom note is overpowering and nauseating.
  • ❌ I just find this fragrance smells too synthetic.
  • ❌ 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.
