Why you'll love it

• Fruit before coffee. Pear, black currant, citruses and green mandarin open, which keeps the coffee heart lighter.
• Tea and white wood. Tea sits with coffee, jasmine and orange blossom in the heart, and white wood with white musk closes.
• Cool-weather character. Fragrantica voters rate it winter 408, fall 403, spring 171 and summer 101, and night over day (383 against 285).
• The scent in one line. On Fragrantica, Black Opium lists these accords in order of strength: fruity, white floral, coffee, citrus, sweet, fresh, woody, green, warm spicy, aquatic. Together they set what you smell most on skin.
