Story & Positioning
Conceived as a glam rock twist on the Opium legacy, Black Opium contrasts the darkness of roasted coffee with luminous florals and a plush vanilla glow for a sensual, versatile signature that thrives after sunset yet wears easily by day. It is frequently compared with scents like Dolce and Gabbana The Only One for a similar coffee vanilla allure.
Bottle & Design
A shimmering black glitter bottle, as if dressed in sequins, captures the mood of night lights and electric energy, with a hypnotic window at the center that reveals the juice within. It looks bold on the vanity and feels instantly iconic in hand.
