Posted by Robin on 17 December 2024 5 Comments

Yves Saint Laurent will introduce launch Black Opium Glitter, a new gourmand fragrance for women, later this month. Black Opium Glitter is a flanker to 2014's Black Opium, which was a flanker to 1977's Opium.

Black Opium Eau de Parfum Glitter, the iconic coffee floral from Yves Saint Laurent becomes fluffy, sweet and sexy with a sought-after marshmallow musk accord. This long-lasting, sweet and sensual interpretation of Black Opium Propels the iconic gourmand perfume further in to the yummy universe.

Submerge yourself into the sensual sweetness of marshmallow musk and the creaminess of dark coffee, blended with vanilla bourbon and luminous notes of orange flower. Black Opium Glitter awakens a new femininity which transcends this sparkling olfaction.

    Oh, look — it’s that trendy marshmallow they were talking about the other day (https://nstperfume.com/2024/12/06/the-rise-of-marshmallow-scents/).

    I’m old enough to remember the original Opium, which couldn’t possibly be farther from the “yummy universe” promised by this one, but you know I’ll still smell this anyway, just in case. I never thought the coffee note of Black Opium was prominent enough: maybe they got it right this time, who knows?

    Hoo boy, I thought the OG Black Opium was plenty sweet. Doesn’t need more!
