Fragrance is about tension. With white flowers like jasmine and lily and a sparkle of mandarin, incense and white pepper, we have achieved that perfectly. It could not be heavy like the original Opium. To be modern is to be light, which is why I used peach and mandarin told Blanc. After four years of agonizing over the details of the fragrance, we wondered: how did Blanc finally know when it was just right?
Sometimes you feel something in your gut that you can't describe -- like when you meet someone that you love, but you don't know exactly why. That's how I felt when I knew it was done," said Blanc.
As for our thoughts on the juice itself, it's surprisingly on the lighter side -- in spite of a musky amber center that is overtly sexual, yet tempered by the sweet citrus notes of mandarin and peach. Blanc referred to the scent as a "moist sensuality.
