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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile, but the cozy, warm, and somewhat mature profile leans towards evening and cooler weather. Reviews suggest it's too 'heavy' or 'spicy' for daytime wear and better suited for relaxed or intimate settings.

About

Starlight Vanilla opens with a unique aromatic blend where creamy almond milk meets a prominent, almost bitter lavender. As it settles, a soft, powdery vanilla emerges, intertwining with a warm amber base. There's an underlying silkiness throughout, making for a sophisticated and comforting, albeit occasionally sharp, vanilla experience.
