Perfume Parlour Star Lady is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003. Star Lady opens with Peony and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Amber. Perfume Parlour's Star Lady carries a Favourite verdict, a rose-led wear.

Star Lady captures the tart, jammy rose-and-amber heart of Stella by Stella McCartney. The ripe rose and clean amber base come through nicely, though it wears softer and closer to the skin than the polished original.

About

Star Lady is Perfume Parlour's take on Stella McCartney's signature Stella, the modern rose that smells like a single perfect bloom at its peak. It opens with a juicy rose lifted by peony and a flash of fresh tangerine, then deepens into a rich, slightly jammy rose heart before mellowing onto a clean, warm amber base. That simple, elegant rose-amber structure is the whole appeal, and this budget version reproduces it convincingly - the rose feels a touch less faceted and the amber a little flatter than the original, with longevity sitting close to the skin much like the famously soft-projecting Stella. The result is a pretty, romantic rose that's easy to wear, a lovely everyday floral for spring days and crisp autumn evenings at a fraction of the designer price.
