Star

Star — a name that radiates with energy — is the golden glow of the Miami Vice Series, capturing the sultry allure of a city that never sleeps. Where YaYo is bold and electric, Star is smooth, radiant, and slow-burning. At the heart of this creation is an unexpected yet irresistible pairing: a ripe banana note wrapped in warm amber, anchored by the incredible rarity of Tigerwood Oud, vintage 2018. The result is a fragrance that glows like the skyline at dusk — modern, sensual, and unforgettable.

The opening of Star is like stepping onto a rooftop terrace above South Beach — electric and alive. The banana note here is unexpected in the best way. It's lush, creamy, and tropical, with just the right hint of freshness. Not sugary or synthetic, but smooth and nuanced. Green Cognac adds a juicy, herbal brightness that plays perfectly off the fruit, giving the opening a sparkling, slightly boozy kick. Chinese Geranium adds a rosey, leafy sharpness, lifting the fruit with aromatic tension and adding just enough sophistication to keep it refined.

As the top begins to soften, the heart of Star unfolds. The amber accord takes center stage — rich, resinous, and golden. It doesn't overpower; instead, it wraps the composition in a velvety aura. Supporting this is Blue Chamomile, which adds a calming herbal nuance, softening the intensity of the amber and giving the fragrance a dreamlike clarity. Italian Oakwood brings a dry, woody complexity that grounds the sweeter elements, while Frangipani contributes a lush, tropical floralcy that melds beautifully with the banana note. Finally, Tuscan Orris — refined and powdery — brings elegance and depth, tying the heart together with a subtle, skin-like softness.

The real magic of Star, however, emerges in the base — where the scent lingers long into the night.

The foundation is built around the rare Tigerwood Oud from 2018, a precious material known for its deep, resinous profile. Unlike the sharp, smoky ouds often found in traditional perfumery, Tigerwood 2018 is smooth, woody, and leathery — aged to mellow perfection. It brings a mysterious richness to Star, creating a grounding contrast to the brighter top and heart notes. Alongside it is Kerala Sandalwood 1953 — a rare, buttery sandalwood that melts into the skin and adds warmth, longevity, and a creamy elegance.

The base is rounded out with French Vanilla, which adds a soft sweetness that enhances the banana and amber without turning the composition into a gourmand. Instead, it lends the kind of luxurious warmth you might associate with clean linens. A subtle Spice Accord laces through the drydown, offering whispers of cardamom, pepper, and nutmeg — never sharp, just enough to keep things interesting as the scent evolves.

Star is a tribute to the Miami night — golden, glamorous, and just a little bit wild. It’s a fragrance for someone who glows from within, who doesn’t need to be loud to be seen. It’s radiant and self-assured, with tropical softness and elegant depth living side by side in perfect balance. Banana and amber, softened by florals and anchored by rare woods, create a scent that’s as unforgettable as a warm breeze on Collins Avenue.

With Star, the Miami Vice Series expands into a softer, more luxurious chapter — but one that still carries the same magnetic energy and bold identity.
