What does Opium Noir smell like?

Opium Noir is a vanilla coffee Extrait built around pink pepper, orange blossom, pear, coffee, jasmine, almond, licorice, and vanilla. The opening is sharp and bright — pink pepper prickles first, cut with a sweet, juicy pear and a light orange blossom lift. Coffee moves in early, roasted and slightly bitter, pulling the sweetness toward something darker and more grown-up. Jasmine sits underneath, white and slightly waxy, keeping the accord from turning purely gourmand. Licorice adds a faint anise edge that threads through the middle. As the spray settles, vanilla and almond build a warm, creamy base, wrapping the coffee in something soft and close to skin. Worn start to finish, it moves from sharp and bright to dark and warm, landing on a rich, vanilla-coffee finish by the final stage.
