Black Opium Glowing is an eau de toilette designed as a “sparkling floral coffee”. Thus, it is a fragrance that combines boundless energy and subtle freshness. The typical floral signature of Black Opium Glowing is still present. Thus, Black Opium Glowing has managed to keep the heritage of its predecessors while giving itself a new lease of life. Its start takes up the caffeine-based signature emblematic of the entire Black Opium collection. This adrenaline rush is paired with a rounder, juicier pear. The freshness of Black Opium Glowing, on the other hand, shines through in a duo of citrus, and more specifically lemon and bergamot. Then, the heart of Black Opium Eau de Toilette takes the form of a huge bouquet of white flowers. Sambac jasmine reveals all its opulence, while the orange blossom brings a more solar note to the whole. Black Opium Glowing finally rests on a more woody base of cedar and patchouli. Musk then amplifies its sensuality.
Black Opium Glowing offers a new glitter and transparent glass
On the aesthetic side, Black Opium Eau de Toilette Glowing is in perfect harmony with its recipe. It retains many codes from the previous Black Opium while offering new, more subtle details. Its silhouette has remained essentially the same, and its central glass porthole is still present. Its glass, on the other hand, is more transparent. Its glittery pink finish is very feminine, and the whole exudes a lightness hitherto unexplored in the collection. Thus, Black Opium Glowing offers itself a bottle in perfect harmony with the lightness it contains.
