Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, to say the least, Rose Star has ignited a fiery debate. For some, it's a 'gorgeous' modern rose, for others a 'cloying', 'mediocre' mess that’s shockingly similar to cheaper options. You'll either love this or hate it, with very little middle ground.
Stars'N'Roses chases Dior's La Collection Privee Rose Star, a jammy honeyed-rose composition. The pear-citrus-pepper opening is a fair nod, but the rose-honey heart reads simpler and fades faster than Dior's dense, layered original.
