I just received my bottle today and it was coming from a hot Florida mail truck so I do expect this to change, but I'm really loving it rn and wanted to get this down while these thoughts are fresh. Black opium was my signature scent for YEARS. Somehow, some way, the opening of this strongly resembles it. I believe its the white florals, which are quite loud as of now. I dont smell coffee like in black opium, but its like the rum, Vanilla, and musk are coming together and blending into a coffee-like scent. However iys not coffee! They also have pear in common, which is the only fruit that's peeking through right now. I have a feeling that this will change quite a lot after resting, but I'm really loving it right now. Yeah, I'm kinda disappointed no peach and the pear not being as present as I thought it would be, but this smells gorgeous as is. After it lays on the skin for a while, the pear does peek out a little bit more but I wouldn't say its a strong presence, and the sandalwood vanilla combo its laying on are just so freaking lovely. It almost smells spiced at this point? Very slightly, but its just soooo so good I cannot emphasize enough. I think the rum may be a spiced rum, but very lightly spiced. Like a hint of spice just to deepen the scent but not enough to say this scent is SPICY spicy. It does also veer away from Black Opium after a while, but I do think it still bears a resemblance to it until it becomes a skin scent. This scent is hard to explain because it is blended very well, and I dont feel like its flat or linear. The sillage was decent and the longevity was quite good for being unrested, or even just in general. This perfume was an instant love for me, but it would be nice for more fruits to speak up a little more. If you like Black Opium or other flor-mand fragrances like it, you'll probably enjoy this. The white florals aren't pissy or granny, but I would love for some bubble gummy tuberose to show up. I'm literally rambling now, so I'll stop it here. In conclusion, its fcking good.

I have never smelled the original...but I have also never smelled a scent exactly like this one until now...because if I had 😳 It would have been declared a LOooong time ago as one of my favorites 🥰 All of the notes seem pretty basic and familiar, which is exactly what some reviewers were saying about this one...but it’s so much more than basic to my nose. Maybe it’s the rum? Either way, I’m sooooo glad that I did not prejudge this one and took a chance. This one is a bright & light, but not too light, scent that I can safely wear to the office...smelling fresh, clean & happy without triggering complaints or comments from the “I prefer my own natural scent” crowd 😂🤢...as far as they know...this IS my own natural scent...you know...clean. Also, the bottle is very pleasing to the eye. This is definitely a keeper in my book and for those that don’t enjoy this scent or find it to be basic...you have my condolences, thoughts & prayers...and also please send me your unwanted bottles expeditiously 😉 Thank you 😘

If you have Kayali WSS or a dupe of it, layer it with this one and thank me later. You’re welcome. I love this perfume. Don’t understand the negative reviews but it’s ok. Everything is not for everyone. This is a sophisticated scent. It’s not too fruity, not too sweet, not too floral. It was balanced very well. Just sad about the ugly bottle 😂 the tuberose works so well. Found my favorite summer scent for work. It’s not offensive in the office setting and I keep getting compliments when I wear it.

Creamy fruits with a touch of rum and pleasant musk. Reminds me of the classic Nivea cream a lot. Initially I wasn't impressed, it seemed a bit boring, but now I actually like it a lot. It wears easy, l like to lift it with a touch of citrusy freshness of another perfume, especially in hot weather. Nice spring/summer fragrance with good perfomance. I always overspray though. Nothing groundbreaking, but I don't think I've got anything similar in my perfume collection. I'd repurchase.

It surprised me how much I enjoyed wearing this today. It was perfectly juicy with the peach and pear notes but it was smoothed with the base of sandalwood, musk and a touch of vanilla. I did bring it to the office with me and gave myself a couple touch up sprays. I can't say it reminds me of anything I've had before. Fruity florals can be tricky but this was well-done. There is a youthfulness to it but wearable for all ages.
