What a gem this perfume is! The three phases are distinct, and it’s absolutely not linear. The fruity opening sparkles, but my favourite part is the evolution and dry-down. I’m not usually a sweet person, and this is ideal: there is sweetness, but no bubblegum or dessert vibes; instead, it’s a sophisticated, spiced vanilla. It lasts over 8 hours on skin without being intrusive. 10/10, one of my best purchases.

A lovely find, easily available and at a very good price.

Mauboussin Star has a strong presence without being overpowering. It lasts well throughout the day with a moderate trail that is noticeable yet not overwhelming; perfect for events where you want to stand out. Ideal for fresh climates or effortless elegant evenings. Sophisticated but easy to wear. It’s already my favourite spiced vanilla.

I’ve just bought this wonder and agree with the previous review, but that undeclared spicy note for me is frankincense. It’s potent, unique, and empowers the woman who dares to wear it. I don’t see it as versatile or suitable for those seeking soft fragrances. I’ll be enjoying this one all winter. ❄️

Luxurious presentation, attractive and in tune with the scent, although the cap is a bit tricky to remove. The opening is very sweet and fruity; I detect fig and pineapple perfectly, accompanied by an undeclared spicy note (some say pepper, I sense oud) that lingers in the dry-down. Then the pineapple recedes and coconut and vanilla settle in, with tonka bean and praline joining the mix. Very sweet but not cloying; it projects well on skin. I sprayed it in the room and it lasted a while, giving me confidence in its intensity. A real gem for this winter.

Luxurious and original packaging that perfectly matches the scent, though the cap is a bit tricky to open. It begins sweet and fruity, with distinct pineapple and fig notes, followed by a spicy note not listed on the bottle (some say pepper, but I detect more oud) which lingers on the skin as it dries. Then the pineapple fades, making way for coconut and vanilla, before tonka and praliné emerge, enhancing that sweetness. It’s very sweet yet not cloying, projects well, and lasted a long time in my room, giving me confidence in its potency. A little gem for this winter.

Exquisite. When the perfume oxidises on the skin, only the coconut and vanilla remain, creating a rich, soft sweetness; I feel it lasts quite a while and I can detect the pineapple at the start. Simply wonderful.
Rutelina
A sweet and creamy scent where praliné, pineapple, coconut, and vanilla are clearly noticeable. The trail is moderate, and although it is sweet, it is by no means overpowering; it’s delicious! I bought it blind and could not be happier; the bottle is simply gorgeous.

Lovely perfume, vanilla-forward, then pepper, spices and woods emerge… it doesn’t project much, but it’s noticeable when you’re close. It feels like a Lush turmeric latte, which is said to be a dupe for a replica… I’m not sure if it is, but it’s worth it. Distinct from typical gourmand scents, it feels like those elegant divas from years ago (the perfume isn’t vintage, but it has that missing spicy line). It might last 2 to 3 hours, but it’s very good for personal use. I’ll wear it in autumn-winter, because in March in Chile the heat isn’t conducive to wearing it much, but it’s worth it: it’s not expensive and very enjoyable.
Rutelina
Sweet and creamy scent; the praline, pineapple, coconut, and vanilla are clearly distinguishable. The trail is moderate, and although it is sweet, it’s not overwhelming at all—it’s delicious! Bought blindly and I couldn’t be happier; the bottle itself is beautiful!

A lovely fragrance, vanilla-forward, then pepper and spices with woods emerge. It doesn’t project much, but it is noticeable when you are very close. It reminds me of the Turmeric Latte from Lush, which is said to be a dupe for Replica… I’m not sure if that’s the case, but it is worth it. Very distinct from typical gourmand scents and evokes those elegant divas of the past (note: the perfume isn’t vintage, but these spicier notes are much needed). Perhaps it lasts two to three hours, but it’s excellent for personal use. I will wear it in autumn and winter as I am in Chile in March and the heat makes it hard to appreciate, but it is worth it; it’s not expensive and very enjoyable.

Exquisite; when it oxidises on the skin, only coconut and vanilla remain, a rich and soft sweetness. In my opinion, it lasts quite a while, and I can definitely detect the pineapple at the start. Simply wonderful.
