  1. My winter signature, the jewel of my collection. Out of all the Xerjoffs I’ve tried, this is the most precious one. Perfect for cold winters and nights in my area. The cardamom is wonderful, adding freshness to spices like clove and cinnamon. Infinite longevity, very powerful trail, and an indescribable opening. It’s unisex, though on male skin I notice a slightly sweet touch that I prefer to avoid. It will be hard to find something similar; it reminds me a bit of Armani Privé Magenta, but here tobacco yields to cardamomo, making Starlight more ‘luminous,’ just as its name suggests. Nothing impacts me as much as this otherworldly perfume❤️

  2. Incredible, delicious, and it lasts all night. The cardamom at the start is amazing and lasts over 12 hours, ideal for going out and for all year round. I bought it blind and it exceeded my expectations; it’s already in my top 3. Total jewel 💎

    This perfume stands out for its elegance and complexity, offering a very interesting olfactory experience. From the start, it envelops you with vibrant notes of cinnamon and cardamomo, creating a warm, spicy opening characterized by that cozy atmosphere. As it evolves, the heart reveals an exquisite combination of almond and clove, adding a sweet, slightly floral touch that perfectly balances the intensity of the spices. For me, what really makes it special is its base of cedar and amber, which leaves a sophisticated and very long-lasting trail on skin and clothes. The wood blend gives it a peculiar depth, perfect for those seeking a fragrance that is both bold and refined. Its longevity is impressive, and its projection is moderate, though it certainly always leaves a noticeable impression. Ideal for cool nights or special events, Starlight is a perfume that shouldn’t be worn every day. Undoubtedly, it’s a spectacular fragrance, though somewhat expensive, a must-have in any perfume collection.

  5. No time to waste: smells like Turkish delight, ginger cookies, and Christmas. Spices, cardamom, and cinnamon, slightly sweet but not cloying. It doesn’t bother or offend; it’s very versatile for what it is. Good sillage and longevity without being a beast. If you like cardamom, try it. Ideal for autumn and winter, more evening than daytime, perfect for dinners or gatherings. 100% unisex.

  6. No need to beat around the bush, it smells like Turkish delight, ginger cookies, Christmas. Spices, cardamomo, and cinnamon. Slightly sweet without being cloying. Not overwhelming or offensive to others. I find it quite versatile for the type of perfume it is. Nice sillage, good trail, and longevity without being a beast. If you’re a cardamomo lover, at the very least, you should try it. Perfect for autumn and winter. More for night than day. Ideal for special occasions, family dinners, friend gatherings… 100% unisex.

  7. Delicious😍. Blind buy and you’ll be right 200%. I was afraid of the clove, but you can’t smell it. Spices, amber, cardamom, and cinnamon that sound like a song and have me hooked. A delicate powdery dry down 🥰🥰🥰

  8. Greetings 👋👋👋👋 SHORT AND SWEET… I have a 2023 Batch (I know that data will be useful for many) XERJOFF STARLIGHT is extraordinarily delicious. ✅ ELEGANT, SEXY, MODERN, ULTRA SEDUCTIVE, and ORIGINAL. DETAILS: I got compliments until I was sick of them! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Did I buy it blind? Yes ❤️🔥! and it BLOWN MY MIND OFF! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 How does it smell? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 A bright perfume (I don’t know what gives it that brightness, but it makes it very modern) and warm; cinnamon plays a fundamental role, and the amber sweetens it, but it’s a rich, soft sweet (don’t worry, it’s not Jean Paul Gaultier Elixir, haha) 🤣. Can it be used in Heat 🌞 and Summer Nights 🌚? 🌘 No, impossible in heat and less so during the day, but in Cool Summer Nights where the climate is controlled, or on rainy nights when the evening settles in, THIS IS A HOME RUN FOR THE SQUAD 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🙏🏽. It’s lucky it’s not a VIRAL perfume like NAXOS because for me, it’s MUCH BETTER THAN NAXOS, and I have it here (which is different from this Starlight). IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR THANKS!! 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 To conclude, it’s for Nights 🌘; this is a safe selection for dates. 100% unisex; a woman with this literally steals your heart and attention, and well… 🔥 My Instagram is Wilson_tgb if you want to ask me questions, haha shao.

  9. Hello 👋 Short and sweet: I have a 2023 batch of Xerjoff Starlight and it’s a beast. Delicious, elegant, sexy, modern, and ultra-seductive. I’ve gotten compliments until I couldn’t take them anymore. I bought it blind and it blew my mind. It smells bright (I don’t know what gives it that modern touch) and warm; cinnamon leads, amber sweetens but it’s a rich, soft sweet (don’t worry, it’s not Jean Paul Gaultier Elixir). Does it work in heat? No, impossible. Not even on sunny days, but on cool summer nights, controlled climates, or when it rains and the night turns off, this is a home run! It’s lucky it’s not going viral like Naxos, because for me, it’s much better. If you made it this far, thanks. To wrap up: it’s for nights, a safe bet for dates. 100% unisex; a woman with this steals your heart and attention. My Instagram is Wilson_tgb if you want to ask anything. Shao.

    I feel like I’m drunk, but the dry down smells very similar to Man in Black by Bvlgary. And said all that, I find it delicious.

  11. Yes, it’s quite similar to Magenta Tanzanite, but this one is drier, less creamy, and more masculine, though it remains unisex. It seems more natural to me than Magenta. The ingredients in Starlight seem to be of better quality, but it’s too dry for me. You can really smell the cinnamon, cardamom, almond, and clove, all super natural, like the spice itself. Although I liked it, I’m sticking with Magenta Tanzanite.

  12. Xerjoff Starlight is a warm, spicy fragrance centered on cardamom. It opens with cardamom and cinnamon, highlighting a barely perceptible energizing touch of bergamot. As it dries down, clove, almond, and amber join the cardamom and cinnamon. Cardamom takes the lead with its sweet and toasted facet; almond and cinnamon give a pleasant, almost gourmand sensation. It smells notably warm, cozy, sparkling, intense, sweet, and spicy, evoking the Christmas or winter season. Be careful with cardamom and cinnamon; they can be sharp and overwhelming if you’re not used to them. It has little evolution; the notes vary in intensity but are always noticeable. Longevity is good, between 10 and 13 hours, with intense projection for the first 4 hours.

  13. Nuts with citrus and cinnamon, vanilla-scented, sweet but not cloying. It has greater longevity than La Capitale. It’s very pretty and addictive.

    The BEST cinnamon perfume I’ve ever smelled in my entire life. Megalium by Carner can’t even touch its heels, let alone Khamra. I need this NOW in my life. If you like Kenzo’s Jungle Elephant, this will fit you perfectly (not the same, watch out! but it captures that spicy perfume concept). Edit: It’s finally home 😃

  15. Very spicy, almost gave me hiccups. For my nose, cardamomo is the star, followed by clove and a bit of cinnamon. I wouldn’t want to smell like this, even though I love spices.

  16. How come this beauty has no reviews here? Well, I’ll inaugurate the section 🙂 Starlight is a super spicy fragrance; sometimes it gives a very slight, very faint impression of leaning masculine, but for me, it’s totally unisex. It’s a beautiful spice blend with a dry character, the same accord that tea usually lends to fragrances. In fact, at first, cardamomo and bergamot hit you hard, then it settles with cinnamon as the protagonist, a very shy clove, and finally almond. All of this together evokes a steaming cup of cinnamon tea. During the dry down, I also sense a hint of nuts, not just almond. In the final dry down, a delicious amber with a touch of vanilla. Overall, I don’t feel it leans gourmand. Regarding similar perfumes… First, I want to say it doesn’t resemble Kisses Rain by Renier. That one definitely goes another way; maybe the almond note is worked similarly, but they aren’t similar at all. I haven’t tried Magenta Tanzanite, but I do have a decant of a Perfumes Parlour dupe, and here I do notice some familiarity. Projection is moderate to high, and longevity is excellent, around 10 hours.
