Sweet seduction
I don't even remember how I came across Star, but as soon as I read the notes I wanted to test the fragrance. There was a lot of content on the virtual paper that I really like. The reviews and statements here did the rest. So a bottle of the fragrance soon fluttered its way to me. I tested 4 fragrances at the same time, but Star stood out as a real star. My husband was also almost enthusiastic ("smells good!") and so he moved in.
It starts off fruity, but for me the fig comes through rather than the pineapple. I don't always like pineapple and am therefore very happy that I can't actually detect it in detail. Shortly afterwards, the fragrance becomes creamier, like a fruity body lotion and less like a fig smoothie. And then, for me, the real star (note the pun) of the fragrance comes on stage: the praline. A sweet, delicious temptation, but one of the expensive kind. Not a disgusting Billo-Moncherie, but a delicate temptation straight from the top floor of KaDeWe. The sweetness is not cheap, synthetic or sticky, but really pleasant, balanced and well-balanced. I think this is due to the support from the heliotrope, which always gives me these sophisticated yet sweet vibes anyway. The vanilla is also rather subtle and supports the sweetness of the praline in a wonderful way. I can also detect a slight woodiness. This gives the fragrance a twist and makes it exciting. Once it has settled, it caresses the skin in a wonderfully delicate, sweet and soft way.
I think the longevity and sillage are incredibly good. Especially for the price. You can confidently order it from the big A and not from online stores that offer it for 60 euros more.
The bottle is a little difficult. It's really beautiful in itself, the shape is innovative and yet not kitschy. I also like the lid with its gold and shape. What I don't like is the way the lid sits on the bottle. It takes a lot of force to loosen it and I regularly scrape off a bit more of the gold layer. But anyway, as I said, I can forgive that for the price.
For me, the fragrance is even relatively season-independent. I probably wouldn't wear it in summer, but otherwise it suits me everywhere.
Star is really a hit and an absolute heartfelt recommendation for anyone looking for affordable yet good fragrances.
