Latest Reviews of Black Opium Over Red
The snob in me really wants to hate the cotton candy topnotes presented here, but they're just so fun and literal that I can't. However, everything falls apart within a few minutes, leaving a dilapidated mess of conflicting smears, and at that point I can confidently say that I don't like it any more. It's hard to place what exactly I'm smelling - the cotten candy is still there, but soured with a burnt nut smell and supported by a powdery pink pepper base. Meanwhile, there's also a minty green haze, and a soapy fruity floral there as well.
It feels like, at this lever of flanker ridiculousness, this wants to be 3 or 4 different perfumes and instead of even really trying any more, they're just throwing shit together and giving it a limited edition release. This wants to be a Pink Sugar-esque candy gourmand, a mint-topped Florabotanica fruity floral, a Burberry-inspired pink pepper "oriental", and also a burnt coffee perfume, but it's all way too much. With extremely careful formulation and deft blending, I'm sure a great perfumer could make these elements work together, but that's not the case here.
