Pros & Cons
- ✅ It's Black Opium without the Licorice and Pepper <3
- ✅ I really like this fragrance - however, I don't think it's a close dupe to Black Opium as most say. I own both fragrances. The drydown isn't drastically different but BO is slightly sweeter. Gardenia has a very, very long lasting and feminine drydown which I love.
- ✅ What is this alchemy! This smells like sweet vanillic coffee in warm weather and like heady gardenia / white floral when it’s cold.
- ✅ I am blown away, this perfume is so good for what you pay. I do not smell coffee at all, which is good for me because i don't like that. Very close to opium le perfume, but gardenia is more in your face from the moment you spray
- ✅ Lovely Christmas present - very close Black Opium dupe. Not a gardenia in sight or any other form, this is straight up what the notes listed says it is.
- ✅ I couldn’t place this when I first smelled it but the coffee note definitely does give the Black Opium vibe! It’s a softer more light wearing version.
- ✅ Absolutely obsessed!!! This fragrance captures the essence of Black Opium so perfectly!
- ✅ This was the first perfume I bought and I still love it. It's so sexy and feminine. Compliment getter for sure.
- ❌ this smells like pure alcohol for the first 20 mins and gives me the biggest head ever…. smells like cheap perfume with no clear identifiable note to it, just alcohol and artificial sweetener
- ❌ Screechy as HELL, sold it
- ❌ There is something about this perfume that bothers me and I don't know what it is. I think it smells cheap, too sweet and ordinary.
- ❌ I found this perfume to be absolutely disgusting and I don't mind black opium. This smells like an old grape hard candy that has been in a hot car.
- ❌ For some reason, it turns my stomach now every time I smell it, it must be the flower because it's overpowering the vanilla and coffee.
- ❌ She’s light and airy, a pretty white flower scent that’s good for every day wear. Not much staying power though.
