About

Black Opium Wild Edition opens with a sweet, juicy burst of pear and delicate orange blossom, spiced with a hint of pink pepper. The heart deepens with rich coffee, creamy almond, and a liquorice twist, all softened by intoxicating jasmine. It settles into a luxurious base of vanilla, cashmere wood, and earthy patchouli, creating a warm and inviting gourmand experience.
