Star Of The Season

Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued Lancôme beauty is a controversial one. Some find it a timeless, sophisticated masterpiece - a true "real woman" scent. Others are repulsed by what they describe as a sharp, cleaning-fluid-like nastiness. Love it or hate it, it aims for classic femininity.
Prepare for a delightful muddle. Star of the Season is a luxurious, creamy vanilla-sandalwood dream for most, but beware the elusive cumin note if your skin amplifies spices. This one is polarising; check the notes carefully and try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
While some find it office-appropriate due to its elegance, its potential for strong projection and intimate warmth make it better suited for dates or formal events. The floral and woody accords lend themselves to versatility, but definitely less for casual wear or sport.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and moderate to good projection make it unsuitable for daily office wear but perfect for dates and formal events. The warm, creamy accords lend themselves well to cooler weather, making it a luxurious statement for evenings out.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Powdery, Iris accords and Rose, Iris notes
