Not much marshmallow
Update: This has really grown on me. Longevity is great! Love the scent.

If you are a fan of the original Black Opium you would probably like this. I don't smell much difference from the OG. Its nice but I was expecting it to be more sweet. The marshmallow is very subtle. It smells amazing with Kayali Yum Boujie though! Black Opium over Red is still my favorite in the line.

It has glittered out...
First of all, I love Black Opium Le Parfum and I was immediately captivated by Black Opium Eau de Parfum Over Red.
I don't have much to do with the normal BO. Somehow it never fit with me.

I was really excited and I also like the fragrance pyramid.

That's why I was really disappointed when I tested it.
Immediately after spraying it, I knew it wasn't going to work.

The BO DNA is there, but for me personally in a penetrating way.
Totally synthetic/sweet so unfortunately it made me sick.
I don't want to badmouth the fragrance to anyone, but I really recommend testing it beforehand. A blind buy could be fatal.

My personal impression is that this flanker is over.
In Le Parfum the vanilla comes with cinnamon and in Overred vanilla & cherry. These are great extensions but glitter is more fake than real.

Happy Glitter - sweet and cheerful
I was first allowed to test the Black Opium Eau de Parfum Over Red from the Black Opium range and then sniffed the original Black Opium Eau de Parfum with a colleague.

Both were beautifully made for me, but not "must have" fragrances.

Black Opium Eau de Parfum Glitter made me really prick up my ears. Glitter? How can you imagine that? At first I thought there were glitter particles in the perfume that remained on the skin when I applied it, like a fashion accessory.

That it's the original name of a new flanker - well, you don't usually come up with the simplest thing. Thanks to @Tasjunja for the opportunity to test the fragrance while sharing!

The perfume comes pretty close to the original Black Opium Eau de Parfum at the start. A little sensuality, a little vamp, a little coffee. After a few minutes, however, it becomes really sweet. Sugar-sweet, to be precise. The marshmallows really kick in!

That makes the fragrance really interesting for me. I think this - first extreme, then adapted - sugary sweetness goes really well with this new flanker in the Black Opium Eau de Parfum range. This makes the fragrance seem lighter, more upbeat and more cheerful than the original scent.

After 1-2 hours, the vanilla comes out very strongly, but the sweetness of the marshmallows remains in the background. The fragrance remains on my skin until it fades.

The longevity is absolutely okay. I smelled the fragrance on me for about 6-7 hours. I can still smell it on my clothes (around 10 hours after spraying it on). The sillage is comparable to the other perfumes in the range. No overkill (which is good!), but also no skin-hugging scent bubble, in short: appropriate.

Anyone looking for a "happy glitter", i.e. a sweeter, more cheerful version of Black Opium Eau de Parfum, will be delighted with Black Opium Eau de Parfum Glitter. For me, the fragrance was absolutely worth a test, but it is not a candidate for purchase.

Smells like coffee beans and soap. Made me nauseous. I don't get any marshmallows or vanilla. Pure orange blossom on dry down. Just awful.
