I recently tried it in a shop where they were presenting the new release. The fragrance immediately charmed me, very pleasant and exciting. The cherry note smells like sweet jam, but not cloying, and it literally won't let go. I have never tested regular Black Opium because its description made me think it wouldn't suit me: I usually don't like oriental or gourmand fragrances. But this cherry version turned out to be a real find. It's just a shame the price is still high, since it's a new release. I'll probably order a sample first. I've had cases where a fragrance smelled beautiful on a blotter and skin in the store, but for some reason didn't make me happy at home. So I don't want to risk it without a sample anymore(( Samples really do save the day

Too commonplace for Dior. I expected something unique, but in the end, I got another scent like everyone else's. Floral, sweetish, not to say it's completely a fruit compote, but it quickly got boring. I couldn't even stand the sample

Today I got acquainted with this fragrance. The consultant explained that you can first use one top "phase", and then, as you use it, the second half will reveal a different scent. But if you mix everything, you get a completely new perfume. I didn't mix it, and my nose caught sea buckthorn, something floral, and, it seems, woody notes. After mixing, it became more woody, sea salt is not as obvious, but something in that vein is present. Honestly, it was hard to catch the notes. An interesting concept, I must say. The fragrance is quite bright and with a slight bitterness. Suitable for both men and women 🌊

Oh, this Alessandro Gualtieri! I don't like all his fragrances, but that doesn't stop me from admiring them. Do you have a perfume that evokes passion, sexuality, and desire? I do. We met a long time ago, and back then I thought, "Well, you're interesting, but not for me." All this time I wanted to come back to it and try again. And for good reason, you can't fool yourself. The other day we met again, and this time I understood it. The scent is so dirty that it feels clean. But there's no fresh linen, powder, or sea here. Just you and your skin. This perfume seems to convey all the chemical reactions between your body, the air, and surrounding objects. It's truly exciting. Don't believe me? Try it! Even if you realize it's not for you, you'll still get interesting sensations. And here's a fun fact: Stercus translates to manure

This is just nonsense now. The scent of a young lady, like orange slices mixed with vanilla cream. Someone might call it delicious, but for me, it rather creates an atmosphere of coziness

Sweet sugar soaked in melted milk, and a pile of toffees create an interesting cocktail. The sandalwood here is very persistent, even aggressive. For its line, this fragrance truly impresses with its strength. I liked this bright sweetness, it's like it explodes conventional ideas about perfumery

What an amazing scent this is! Every time I smell it, I just want to hug my man and never let go
