Fragrance profile
Black Opium Glitter blends the addictive coffee accord with creamy vanilla and a playful marshmallow sweetness, elevated by radiant florals for a modern gourmand experience. The opening unfolds with bright notes of green mandarin, pear, and lemon, paving the way for a heart built around coffee and orange blossom, with jasmine lending a soft, luminous facet. A lush base of vanilla, marshmallow, musk, and patchouli anchors the scent, while cedarwood adds a subtle woody lift. The result is a seductive, grown-up sweetness that feels both glamorous and confident for evening wear.

How to use
- Apply to pulse points (wrists, neck, décolletage) from about arm’s length for an even, wearable diffusion.
- Spritz on after shower-dried skin to help lock in the fragrance’s warmth and sweetness.
- Layer lightly with a matching body product (if available) to amplify sillage without overwhelming the senses.
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together after application to preserve the delicate scent molecules and prevent flattening the fragrance cloud.
- Reapply as needed for extended evening wear, focusing on exposed areas like the neck and collarbone.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the glitter bottle’s finish and the fragrance’s integrity.
