A luminous twist on the iconic coffee floral, Black Opium Glitter wraps sparkling citrus and juicy pear around a creamy orange blossom heart, then melts into a cuddly marshmallow musk cloud over addictive dark coffee and rich vanilla absolute. The result is irresistibly sweet yet polished, playful yet sensual, with a glossy trail that feels like a night out captured in scent.

Story & Positioning
Part of YSL’s Black Opium line, Glitter leans into gourmand pleasure with a marshmallow musk accord that softens the signature coffee and brightens it with luminous florals. Think flirty evening wear that still reads chic, perfect for date nights, cool weather, and any time you want sweetness with attitude. Lovers of orange blossom gourmands will likely find kinship here, with frequent comparisons to playful confections in the same orbit, such as By Kilian Love Do not Be Shy and Parfums de Marly Oriana, while keeping the unmistakable Black Opium DNA.
Bottle & Design
The iconic Black Opium bottle steps out in a couture silver glitter dress with a candy pink window and tactile sparkle finish, designed to channel confidence and after-dark glamour. The fragrance itself does not contain or spray glitter.
