MiN NEW YORK BLACKSTAR is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. BLACKSTAR opens with Frankincense, Raspberry, and Tea, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Leather, and Chypre Accord. MiN NEW YORK's BLACKSTAR carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a gorgeous jammy rose, others a bit 'meh'. The price tag doesn't help, but the performance is solid.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it suitable for formal settings and dates without being overpowering. While some reviews mention it for work, the prominent rose and leather might be a bit much for a daily office wear, hence a slightly lower score there.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

BLACKSTAR opens with a surprisingly juicy burst of raspberry and the subtle earthiness of tea, lifted by a wisp of frankincense. It quickly deepens into a rich, velvety rose heart, intertwined with damp patchouli and a whisper of lily of the valley. The dry-down settles into a sophisticated base of woody notes, a smooth, worn leather, and a classic chypre accord, softened by musk.
