Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Glitter is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Honorine Blanc, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp, and Nathalie Lorson. Black Opium Glitter opens with Lemon, Mandarin, and Pear, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Marshmallow, Musk, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium Glitter carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A divisive flanker that splits Black Opium fans, this one leans aggressively sweet. Many find it cheap and synthetic, but those who love it adore its marshmallow coffee sweetness and powerful sillage.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its bold sweetness and good projection make it an attention-grabber, ideal for dates or casual nights out where it can truly shine and project. The intensity might be too much for formal settings or an office environment, and it is definitely not suited for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Black Opium Glitter bursts open with a bright, zesty trio of pear, lemon, and mandarin, immediately grabbing attention before quickly settling into a plush, sweet heart of orange blossom. The dry down is where the gourmand magic truly happens, blending rich coffee notes with a generous helping of fluffy marshmallow and creamy vanilla, grounded by a subtle musk and patchouli. It is an intensely sweet and warm scent, with a distinct, almost edible quality.
