  How’s the Amber Star? It has vanilla and benzoin in the base, so it smells like camphor and maybe something medicinal. These notes dominate everything, with a touch of wood and ylang-ylang. The myrrh blends into the base, but the vanilla and benzoin really stand out. It’s unisex, leaning more masculine, though a woman could wear it. It’s linear and doesn’t last long, but the price is absurd—not affordable at all. The fact that it’s exclusive because it sells in a box with Star Musk for around $800 doesn’t matter if it smells like nothing and lacks originality; it reminds me of Gold from 24. It would have been better placed in the ‘Join the Club’ collection for $230, and even then, it wouldn’t be among the best. I’d much rather choose other things from this house, like Ivory Route or Starlight, which aren’t fantastic but are at least rich perfumes. Selling perfumes in combos is a huge problem; imagine buying the Original Santal from Creed but being forced to take another Creed with it. That drives up the cost and kills sales. If you say Star Musk must be good to justify the expense, I suggest thinking twice, but I’ll talk about that later. The Amber Star is rare to see because it’s exclusive, what a pity that the scent didn’t ride the same train as the exclusivity, but rather in economy class.

  A true gem that awakens all the senses from within. I’ve only smelled something similar before, Molinard’s Habanita. I can’t quite explain it, but it smells like my second skin. The price is insane; it’s only available in a set with another fragrance and can’t be bought on its own.
