Black Opium Illicit Green
pear · fig leaf · green mandarin
Black Opium Illicit Green opens on pear and fig leaf, a green, luminous entrance. The heart of fig, orange blossom and jasmine softens the trail. Then the base of bourbon vanilla, coffee and patchouli settles slowly onto the skin. This is a scent to wear as the evenings draw in, in autumn or winter.
