Perfume Parlour Blue Star is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Blue Star opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Cardamom, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Violet, and Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Perfume Parlour's Blue Star carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Blue Star copies Boadicea the Victorious Azrak - the same sunny pineapple-citrus opening over a rosy violet heart and a rich woody-amber-oud base. The budget version captures the fruity-floral-woody shape but tames the original's room-filling power, reading flatter and less refined.

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.

  • 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

Blue Star opens bright and upbeat: pineapple, lemon and bergamot lift over cassis and a spiced touch of cinnamon and cardamom, echoing the sunny, semi-aquatic start of Boadicea's Azrak. The heart blooms with rose, violet and violet leaf for a powdery-green floral feel before a deep base of sandalwood, cedar, amber, musk and oud brings the woody drydown. Where the original is a famed performance beast that 'has legs', this budget take softens it considerably - the materials read flatter and the projection sits closer to the skin. It remains a bold, sophisticated fruity-floral-woody scent for spring and autumn, equally at home on dates, evenings and dressed-up occasions.
