Flirty 'rock chick' scent

Black Star is quite fruity. An almost refreshing fruity scent at that.

The plum note is certainly present but I sense something else, perhaps some citrus notes and berries.

Don't expect this fragrance to be unique, because it isn't. Black Star seems to follow in the footsteps of many fruity florals that came before.

I must add that this smells nothing like Angel or Covet to my nose. I didn't get the chocolate note at all, and in my humble opinion this is barely a gourmand, there's nothing particularly foody about it.

I didn't really enjoy this on my skin, however I loved how it smelt on my t-shirt. Black Star is quite a clean, fruity scent which I'd half-heartedly recommend to young girls or lovers of fruity scents.

Girly, cozy and sweet

Fruity top notes and a warm chocolate vanilla base. I rave on about this perfume constantly, and I'm so sad it's so hard to get now (discontinued for over 10 years). I liked wearing this in summer for the fruity-vanilla vibe, but in colder weather the chocolate comes out so well. I still have it in my collection, and I think it's very similar to Burberry Brit, though not a perfect dupe.
Attaching my video comparison :)

Below Average

Floral/Fruity it comes, the black star, and initially smells VERY alcoholic (must be a characteristic of the Avril Lavigne fragrances?), but gets better after a few minutes.

Whoever manages to pick out individual notes here - my greatest respect goes to them. I can't do it for the life of me, even though I really try.
I only smell a mishmash, what exactly is in there - no idea - only one thing is for sure: chocolate is definitely not in there... ;)

It is definitely sweet and fruity. And among all the sweet fruity/floral scents, Black Star is probably below average, but still not as bad as its successor Forbidden Rose... (That needs to be said!)

The bottle doesn't look nice and the ring that comes with it is supposedly a "trendy accessory in the popular Avril Lavigne look"...
You can't even get this spiked ring on your finger without "impaling" the other fingers, and there's no talk of it being pretty or even trendy... But if someone likes it...

Level-Limbo

I don't want to offend anyone who owns and likes this fragrance, but I can only echo my predecessors.

I find that it comes across as very cheap and doesn't develop. It's there, and then it's gone. End of story. The listed ingredients can at best be guessed. Chocolate? Really? Not a chance. Everything is very diluted and artificial. Furthermore, the scent is extremely scratchy and very annoying; you want to run away from yourself.
The bottle looks somewhat decent in this picture. In reality, it matches the content: cheap and artificial.

I'm generally not opposed to celebrity fragrances, even though Mr. NEC has successfully partially re-educated me ;-)
But this? No. Really not. This is nothing. Maybe my skin type isn't suited for it, but I found it annoying on the test strip as well.
I can only imagine it on young girls, a bit gothic to punky, a bit wild. And hopefully not in a dosage overkill.

Conclusion:
This fragrance will not end up in my shopping basket in this lifetime.
The bar can hang very low - the level will pass through!

cautious

I cautiously started with a cute 15 ml bottle of the black star - better safe than sorry.
But this noble restraint was unwarranted - because I enjoy using the fragrance.
I have no resentment against celebrity or drugstore scents - entirely in line with my motto: Anything goes if you like it.
And so Black Star is also a full-fledged, adequate fragrance.
My favorite, the pear, greets me joyfully, followed by bitter mango and black currant. This one also has a refreshing bitterness.
Then I am delighted by a delicate hint of hibiscus, woven into bright jasmine.
The dark star begins to shine.
In conclusion, the harmonious composition is garnished with chocolate and vanilla.
The star begins to glow darker.
Some noses have happily turned towards me, and even my spoiled aunt wanted a spray.
I will reach for the large bottle in due time.
