Frequently Asked Questions About Black Opium 90ml

How long does the 90ml bottle typically last with regular use?
With an average application of 3-4 sprays per use, the 90ml bottle provides approximately 250-330 wears, lasting 8-12 months when worn 2-3 times weekly.

Is this fragrance suitable for daytime wear or primarily for evening?
While personal preference varies, the rich coffee and vanilla notes perform best in evening settings or cooler months; the intensity may prove overwhelming for office environments or warm weather daytime wear.

Apply to pulse points including wrists, neck, and behind ears on moisturized skin for best longevity; avoid rubbing wrists together as this breaks down the fragrance molecules and diminishes the scent's development.
