Karanal is Definitely "Difficult to Dose"
Although I appreciate Michael Storer's perfumes for women, I must say that WINTER STAR is not a very inviting perfume. It smells quite harsh to my nose and I am assuming that this is a combination of the strong lavender and the even stronger balsam and other basenotes which here are so powerful that I get almost a tallow effect. I did not apply very much from my sample vial, yet I am at the brink of a headache.

My understanding is that this limited edition perfume was something of an experiment with new materials. On the manufacturer's card description, both Karanal and Helvetolide are mentioned--which I gather are new synthetic molecules--and Karanal is explicitly identified as "difficult to dose". I must concur in this case! This perfume is too strong and discordant. Not a pleasant wear.

Christmas Cleaning
Winter Star, what a beautiful name for such an unpleasant perfume. The main theme of this scent is resins and balsams, which, due to the composition, take on a rather furniture polish touch.

The opening is somewhat restrainedly fresh, and you can subtly detect the bergamot.

With the heart note, lavender and clove come through a bit, but the scent already develops a dull waxiness here, combined with a chord reminiscent of old floor wax.

In the base, the floor wax chord becomes very intense and gains an additional earthy note from the oak moss. There is no further scent development to discover here.

In my opinion, the wonderful name of the perfume is not at all realized. Winter Star implies the image of a very bright star on a freezing cold and particularly dark night sky. Here, I would have expected a radiant, voluminous perfume for a grand appearance. Instead, you get the smell of a freshly waxed floor and can't shake the image of a woman in a housecoat from your mind.

Balsamic and animalic - very raw. Like a musky deer near a beaver den next to a civet cat deep in the evergreen forest.

Michael Storer?
Thanks aoe. Except for Winter Star I tried them all. I did order from him directly at the end of 2007 or in the beginning of 2008. That was before his collection was at Suendhaft back then. I dont know any other...
