Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Opium Intense EDP
Black Opium Intense amps up the original's signature coffee-vanilla with an absinth twist, creating a rich, decadent, and unforgettable night-out statement. Not for the shy, this is a modern femme fatale in a bottle.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Good Fortune EDP
This perfume is a divisive one, blending familiar with fantastic. While some find it 'nothing special', others praise its unique jasmine-fennel dance. Definitely not a blind buy; test on skin as chemistry can make or break its 'good fortune'.
