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 vanilla-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.

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.
