Bath & Body Works In The Stars is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. In The Stars opens with Tangerine, settles into a heart of Boronia and Sugar Cane, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Oud. Bath & Body Works's In The Stars carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is B&BW's infamous Baccarat Rouge dupe, and it's certainly a divisive one. Some smell cheap, synthetic horror, while others are convinced it's a high-class, affordable masterpiece. You'll know which camp you're in after a sniff, but its surprising longevity for a mist can make it hard to forget.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

While some find it office-appropriate, its potent projection and distinct, 'perfumey' character can be too much for close quarters. It shines on dates and casual outings, where its warmth and modern sweetness are appreciated. Wear it to the gym if you're not afraid of making a statement.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine candied woods and rich amber, lifted by a surprising pop of juicy tangerine. Beneath the sweetness, there's a serious oud and musk base that gives it depth, preventing it from becoming just another sugary mist. A powdery finish smooths out the edges, leaving a sophisticated, warm trail.
