Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper sweet shop explosion; fizzy, fruity, and undeniably joyful. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who love their scents playful and bright, though its staying power is a bit of a national scandal for the price point. Expect rave reviews, just don't expect it to last 'til elevenses.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its sweet and fruity nature makes it a fantastic fit for casual settings and dates, projecting a fun, approachable vibe. The divisive longevity, often compared to a body spray, means it's less ideal for formal events or the office where a more commanding presence is typically desired.
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.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fruity, Sweet, Floral accords and Blackcurrant, Jasmine notes
