EE16: $69. Save 20%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet's start with the name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack Opium. It sounds dangerous. It sounds dark.\u003cbr\u003eBut what Black Opium actually smells like is a very\u003cbr\u003egood coffee at two in the afternoon sweet, warm,\u003cbr\u003eand completely impossible to put down. That is the\u003cbr\u003econtradiction that made it a cult fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEE16 captures that contradiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE OPENING PEAR, PINK PEPPER, ORANGE BLOSSOM:\u003cbr\u003eThree notes that arrive brightly. Pear adds fruit\u003cbr\u003esweetness. Pink pepper adds a fizzing warmth. Orange\u003cbr\u003eblossom adds a clean, white floral freshness. This\u003cbr\u003eis not what people remember about Black Opium. It is\u003cbr\u003ewhat makes them stop and say \"wait, what is that?\"\u003cbr\u003ebefore the coffee arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE DARK HEART COFFEE, JASMINE, BITTER ALMOND, LICORICE:\u003cbr\u003eHere is where EE16 becomes Black Opium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoffee: roasted, slightly bitter, immediately recognizable.\u003cbr\u003eJasmine: the white floral that prevents it from reading\u003cbr\u003eas a coffeehouse and keeps it feminine.\u003cbr\u003eBitter Almond: darker and more intense than sweet almond.\u003cbr\u003eCreates the \"indulgent\" quality without crossing into dessert.\u003cbr\u003eLicorice: the ingredient most Black Opium alternatives\u003cbr\u003edo not specifically include. It is what gives the heart\u003cbr\u003eits slightly anise-like edge the note that makes\u003cbr\u003epeople ask \"what IS that\" even when they know coffee\u003cbr\u003eand vanilla are in there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALT Fragrances' Fleur Noire is $39 and well-reviewed.\u003cbr\u003eDossier's Ambery Vanilla is $29. Both describe themselves\u003cbr\u003eas Black Opium dupes.\u003cbr\u003eNeither one specifically mentions licorice as a distinct\u003cbr\u003enote in their heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEE16 does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE BASE VANILLA, PATCHOULI, CASHMERE WOOD, CEDAR:\u003cbr\u003eThe sweet landing.
