Morning Star
Morning Star by Liquides Imaginaires is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, pink pepper, cinnamon and incense, moves into lily of the valley, jasmine and milk and dries down to cedarwood, georgywood, akigalawood, patchouli, vetiver and tonka bean. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Heart
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Milk Soft, lactonic and creamy. Makes everything around it rounder.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Georgywood A lab-made wood with a velvety, ambery hum. A close cousin of Iso E Super.
- Akigalawood Patchouli with the earth taken out. Peppery, lightly spiced dry wood that makes a base feel expensive.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
