Perfume Parlour Star Noire For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Star Noire For Men opens with Absinth, Anise, and Fennel, settles into a heart of Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Star Noire For Men carries a Statement verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

Star Noire chases Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Black, nailing the sweet-boozy anise-and-fennel club opening before tipping into a vanilla-musk base. The dupe renders the absinthe accord simpler and the longevity shorter than the original, but the playful party signature comes through clearly.

About

Star Noire opens with the same liquorice-tinged kick that made 212 VIP Black a club favourite - sweet anise and warm green fennel laced with a boozy absinthe lilt. A clean swipe of lavender bridges into the heart, keeping the aromatic fougere structure recognisable. From there it drifts into the signature sweet drydown of black vanilla husk and soft musk, the part of the original that most wearers remember. Compared to the Carolina Herrera, this budget version reads a touch more two-dimensional: the layered, fizzy complexity of the opening absinthe accord is flattened into a more linear sweet-anise note, and the projection drops off faster, settling close to the skin within a couple of hours rather than carrying the room. It stays true to the original's playful, after-dark personality, making it an easy reach for nights out and casual evenings when a sweet, characterful aromatic is the goal.
