Peau d'Ailleurs

6.0

Starck · 2016

Fresh · Floral · Green

Starck Peau d'Ailleurs is a unisex fragrance with a fresh, green character softened by floral, powdery and lightly fruity touches, suited to relaxed spring and autumn days. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter a distant fourth. It is mostly worn for leisure and daytime, and also fits the office. Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable without filling a room. It sits between masculine and feminine, with votes leaning slightly feminine. The scent is fresh and green overall. Amber, musky, mineral and woody notes carry it, while the floral side adds a powdery softness and the sweetness and spice stay in the background. There is an earthy, slightly synthetic edge too. Humięcki & Graef Geste and Biotherm Eau Fusion have a close profile.

Starck Peau d'Amour is a fresh, floral and sweet women's fragrance, with a fruity side that keeps it light and cheerful. Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with winter and summer further behind. Leisure, a night out, daily wear, evening and business are all close, so it reads as an easy scent for any part of the day.

In the base, tonka bean, patchouli, amber and powdery notes soften and sweeten it. Composed by Dominique Ropion, it shares a close profile with Bond No. 9 Bryant Park and DKNY Red Delicious.

Peau de Lumière Magique

7.6

Starck · 2018

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Starck Peau de Lumière Magique is a fresh, citrusy scent with floral and green touches, made for women and suited to everyday wear. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though with few votes, so that note should be read with some caution. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring close behind. It fits daytime, leisure, evenings out and the office. Voters mostly call its character feminine, then classic. Citrus notes and jasminum auriculatum lead the scent, with ginger flower softening the floral side. Patchouli and pepper add a light spicy, oriental edge. The overall impression is fresh, green and fruity, with a sweet, creamy touch in the background.

Peau de Nuit Infinie

7.7

Starck · 2018

Fresh · Citrus · Sweet

Starck Peau de Nuit Infinie is a fresh, leathery men's fragrance that sets citrus brightness against leather and wood. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though few people have voted, so those ratings are tentative. There are no season or occasion votes to point it anywhere in particular; it reads masculine. The notes come across as a single whole: lemon and bergamot give a bright citrus lift, while leather, fossilized wood and mineral notes lay a harder base that ambergris softens. Beyond fresh and citrus, the accords add sweet, spicy, powdery and synthetic touches.
