Mauboussin Star is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Star opens with Fig and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Iris and Coconut, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Heliotrope, and Vanilla. Mauboussin's Star carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a divisive cheapie, so don't blind buy. Many adore its smoky vanilla and praline for cooler months, but a vocal minority get an off-putting 'gasoline' or 'smoke' opening. If you can get past that, it's a cozy, gourmand dream; otherwise, steer clear.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its sweet, inviting gourmand profile makes it excellent for casual wear and dates, as many reviews suggest. However, the moderate to strong projection and sweetness might be a bit much for a formal setting or an office environment.

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.

About

Star opens with a fleeting whisper of pineapple and fig before settling into a creamy, almost toasted coconut and powdery iris. The heart soon melts into a rich, buttery praline and vanilla, underscored by warm amber, deep cedar, and tonka. It’s a sophisticated, sweet gourmand with a subtle smoky woody edge, perfect for cold weather comfort.
