What does North Star smell like?

The top is bergamot, grapefruit, lemon juice, mint and coriander, with pink pepper adding a sharp, spicy edge. In the heart, nutmeg, ginger and jasmine lead, while melon softens the sweetness slightly. The base of frankincense, sandalwood, labdanum and amber settles it down; the green, floral and smoky accords sit in balance within the woody frame.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, and its value for money is rated high. It suits men and women alike. Its profile is close to French Avenue Zenith Deep and Coral Perfumes Escape Noir.
