What does Black Star smell like?

It opens with pear, mango and blackcurrant, a fresh and juicy fruit start. The heart brings hibiscus, jasmine and lotus for a soft floral touch. In the base, musk, vanilla, chocolate and sandalwood sweeten the scent and close it with a warm, gourmand feel. A synthetic edge runs through the accords as well.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays light and close to the skin. Most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, and it leans towards daily and relaxed settings. Its character reads modern and feminine. Montale Diamond Greedy and Emir Pear Potion have a close profile.
