Starlight
Starlight opens with cardamom and bergamot — the cool, slightly eucalyptus-edged spice of the former lifted by citrus — before the heart delivers its core accord: cinnamon, clove, and almond together, a warm spice-sweet combination that sits at the intersection of Eastern and Western orientals.

By the editors · 2 min readStarlight opens with cardamom and bergamot — the cool, slightly eucalyptus-edged spice of the former lifted by citrus — before the heart delivers its core accord: cinnamon, clove, and almond together, a warm spice-sweet combination that sits at the intersection of Eastern and Western orientals. The almond note is the unusual element, adding a soft, marzipan-like quality that diffuses the sharper spices. Amber and cedar in the base provide warm, woody depth. Xerjoff's production polish is evident in the blending — there's no rough edge where the spices might otherwise bite. A quiet, considered winter oriental.
