About this deal

Update: Ok so I tested it for days and I realize it smells pretty much like VS Love Me, floral, bubblegummy and also abit like Poison Girl the EDT though, due to the lemon/citron and orange blossom. The adrenaline-rich coffee gives way to a heart of jasmine and orange blossom, teamed with juicy dragon fruit tingling with radiance, and enveloped by vanilla and white musk, making for a women’s perfume that is both couture and edgy. This is different than the original and for me much more wearable, because of the fruity sour note, mixed with hints of coffee.

Love this better than all of the coffee-based fragrances in my arsenal- Coffee Break, BO, Hundred Silent Ways, Intense Cafe, etc. A radiant heart of Orange Blossom and Jasmine is wrapped in ribbons of cool vanilla and white musk to create an edgy couture fragrance. It's not as heavy as the original and has a nice vibrant fresh twist at the start, so it is easier to wear.

it’s just that other than the beautiful orange blossom, this fragrance doesn’t have a whole lot going on. Black Opium Neon blends the opening note of pitahaya with a heart of orange blossom on a base of coffee.

The only thing is it doesn’t project that well but you can smell it on you and in intimate moments so can others. This exhilarating adaptation of the best-selling Black Opium fragrance is characterised by a unique, exotic top note of Dragon Fruit. Adrenaline-rich coffee gives way to an orange blossom heart electrified by luminous dragon fruit accord, wrapped by cool vanilla and white musk for a NEW statement scent that is both couture and edgy. It blends with the orange blossom and vanilla to make a combination that can only be explained with one word: intoxicating. I liked the now discontinued Black Opium flankers Floral Shock and Nuit Blanche much better than this.I’ve reapplied many times while tearing it today, although admittedly a few times just because I wanted to smell the opening again and wanted another dose of that pretty orange blossom. Well worth purchasing in my book,however i am probably biased as i have all the other variants of Black Opium in my collection ! After 30 minutes, it starts to dry down to a bit more of musky vanilla, less fruity but still sweet, maybe a hint of floral in the background. However, the lack of sophistication also gives Black Opium Neon a bubbly youthfulness that I find really refreshing. The Eau de Parfum Intense brings a magnetic blast of energy to the Black Opium coffee accord with the thrilling aura of blue absinthe.

The dry down is where I really love this perfume, still getting the Coffee that is now joined by Vanilla and Musk and it is just wonderful in my opinion. The orange blossom dominates this fragrance on my body chemistry then the faint coffee / vanilla note.

It’s quite a lot more fresh than an orange blossom essential oil type of scent, which is more heady and intoxicating, rather than dancing around you all fresh and bright. Some would probably judge this as being basic, and TBH they wouldn't be entirely wrong -- for better or for worse, it has a palpable "Sephora" energy.Someone said this smells like Pure XS by Paco Rabanne,(reformulated) and I understand what they mean. Please read the full reviews and consider your own needs and preferences before making a purchasing decision. The whole ensemble would benefit according to my tastes, I love strong coffee, but this was certainly not the intent to make it perceived as a primary note.

I just get a big burst of orange blossom and vanilla and I guess there is a very subtle lightness from the dragonfruit.

I did 3 sprays on each arm from a sample and after like 30 seconds, it was already subtle on my skin. This scent is quite interesting in that I don’t really pick up the orange blossom on myself most of the time, but I do get sudden whiffs, which makes me suspect it’s the kind of note that surrounds me like a cloud, but stays at a little distance if that makes sense. Bottle: Like in couture tailoring, the signature Black Opium bottle is re-visited and given a new silhouette with the contemporary woman in mind. I like it more than the previous flanker intense but i don't know if i like it more than the original. I think I do pick up some of the dragon fruit in the opening, but it’s more in a supporting role for the orange blossom than that it’s doing anything interesting for itself.It's perfect for when you want sugar in winter - it opens with a nuclear, sugary, fresh, juicy sweetness with something bitter humming in the back. For example, some top note citrus scents smell stronger immediately upon application, while a lavender middle note may be sensed after some time from application as the top note evaporates.
