Belle d'Opium
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This Rikyiel scent is divisive; some adore its rich, cognac-like facets, while others find its intensity suffocating and 'old-fashioned.' It's a statement scent, clearly not for those who prefer understated fragrances.
A tragically discontinued masterpiece, Belle d'Opium is a uniquely seductive, smoky white floral that consistently garners compliments. It stands miles apart from its 'Opium' family, a true shame it was ever pulled from shelves.
