ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A decadent, ultra-rich vanilla bomb shot through with coffee and spice, Black Opium Le Parfum is unapologetically bold and intoxicating, perfect for cold nights and making a seductive statement.
Louis Cardin Transparent is a sweet, playful concoction for those who love their fragrances loud and proud. It's a proper gourmand, unapologetically fruity and sugary, so if you're not into smelling like a dessert, best steer clear. For everyone else, enjoy the delicious ride.
