One of the most gorgeous openings in all of perfumery - photorealistic to the point of disbelief. Fresh, green cardamom pods, given a sparkling brightness and adorned with a crystal-clear amber.
Starlight is not heavy and syrupy like something you'd find in an Iranian dessert shop, but luminescent, with a lightweight transparency. The smooth nuttiness and sweet, ambered spices are beautifully balanced by a clean cedar note that arrives in the base.
It's a majestic composition that I find best suited to the days leading up to Christmas, but the airy freshness that runs throughout makes it perfectly suitable for anytime you want to be adorned by glass-like festive spices and cozy warmth.
