Pear is crisp and juicy, pink pepper adds a light, sparkling spice, and orange blossom brings a soft, honeyed floral glow, so the opening feels fresh and invigorating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe heart is coffee, jasmine, bitter almond and licorice. Coffee adds a dark, roasted depth, jasmine brings a creamy white floral warmth, bitter almond adds a nutty, marzipan-like sweetness, and licorice gives a mysterious, slightly spicy edge that makes the heart alluring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe base is vanilla, patchouli, cedar and cashmere wood. Vanilla is warm and creamy, patchouli adds an earthy depth, cedar gives a dry, clean woodiness, and cashmere wood wraps everything in a soft, velvety warmth. The dry-down is creamy, sweet and lingers beautifully on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Honest Note on the Style and the Comparison\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlack Optra is a rich, sweet coffee gourmand, and it is meant to feel dark and indulgent. With coffee, bitter almond, licorice and vanilla in the pyramid, it reads as seductive and evening-ready rather than light, so it suits people who love sweet, dark, gourmand fragrances and may feel heavy if you prefer fresh or dry scents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eReviewers are positive, with one calling it very feminine and fresh, and retailer ratings average around 4.7 out of 5.
