Which Should You Buy?
A truly divisive celebrity scent, Black Star promises punk rock edge and delivers a sweet, fruity gourmand that either charms with its chocolatey depths or disappoints with its perceived 'cheapness'. Expect a blast of nostalgia, but don't expect it to stick around all day.
This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some find it a decent dupe with strong performance, whilst for others, an 'unpleasant screechy note' makes it a hard pass. Definitely don't blind buy; this is one you need to test drive yourself.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sweet, inviting gourmand accords make it perfect for casual outings or dates, though its weaker performance means reapplication may be needed. The lack of strong projection and formal notes position it away from office or formal events.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its sweet and musky profile, with a strong sillage mentioned by some, makes it less ideal for a professional office setting. However, the inviting warmth and depth are well-suited for dates and relaxed social gatherings. It's too rich for sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fruity, Sweet, Vanilla accords and Jasmine, Pear notes
