Which Should You Buy?
Star Lady captures the tart, jammy rose-and-amber heart of Stella by Stella McCartney. The ripe rose and clean amber base come through nicely, though it wears softer and closer to the skin than the polished original.
This one's a divisive ode to the rose, blending zingy citrus and soft florals. Some find it a sparkling, feminine dream, others a fleeting lemon-scented floor cleaner. It's a 'love it or hate it' situation, but for many, it's a nostalgic, much-missed fresh floral.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The fresh, jammy rose suits spring and autumn best, with the amber base giving it a little cool-weather warmth.
Occasions
Romantic and feminine, it shines on dates and casual daily wear and is soft enough for the office.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, light character and moderate sillage make it ideal for casual wear and daily office use, though some reviewers found it too lemony for work. The generally poor longevity means it's less suited for formal events or longer dates where projection is key, but its non-offensiveness makes it a safe choice for many situations.
