The Story
Black Opium Floral Shock is a vibrant twist on the original, blending the iconic coffee note with a burst of fresh floralcy. The top is a sparkling mix of pear and pink pepper, leading into a heart of peony and orange blossom. The base remains warm with coffee, vanilla, and patchouli, but feels lighter and more playful. It's a perfect choice for those who want the signature Black Opium energy with a softer, more feminine touch.
