Has repurchased Black Opium over and over for many years, though it's not an everyday scent for them.

“I would not call it signature, because I do not wear it every day nor do I think that it’s good for every day, but the one perfume I have”

Loves wearing Black Opium to bed; it's calming to them.

Black Opium smelled amazing on someone else, but when they sampled it on themself it smelled awful.

Loved Black Opium and repurchased it 2-3 times, but since having COVID they can't stand its smell.
