Verdicts
Black Opium Extreme
A gourmand floral woody fragrance built around coffee, orange blossom, vanilla, white flowers, cedarwood. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Y EDP
Bergamot hits first — bright, slightly tart, gone within minutes. The heart is where it earns its reputation: sage and geranium lock into the amberwood base early, creating a clean-but-substantial green-woody accord that smells polished without being stiff. Ginger adds a faint sharpness that keeps it from going sweet. Cedar grounds the dry-down into something dry and skin-close. Projection is moderate, sillage stays tasteful — present without announcing itself across the room. — A reliable everyday wear for spring and fall, built for the office or a first date.
