Stellar Silk

I was on the hunt for something new for the cooler weather so I bought a tester for this and was not impressed at first... until about 45 minutes to an hour went by and this transformed into the most heavenly creamy sophisticated woody vanilla. I couldn’t stop smelling my hand. I immediately ordered a 100ml bottle, yes it was expensive but I have no regrets. It’s been a while since I had that reaction to a fragrance. The dry down is unbelievable. I get excellent longevity 10+ hours on skin, projection seems to be more on the more moderate side but I haven’t had a chance to really put it to the test. I don’t plan on wearing this out until the weather cools down a little more. Unbelievably excited to break this one out on a cool night out.

Hands down 10/10 BDK best Vanilla ever made ! Incredible. Complex, silky, spicy , buttery, spicy, clean...now make it make sense to see these attributes in the same sentence I was blown away, i love this. A success and the best ( and only one i love ) of the house for me together with Charnel Gris Extrait , but this beats it. Absolute masterpiece on any woman or man. Can you tell i'm way beyond excited about this ? i cannot for the love of god put this down, this has not happened in a while to me with perfumes ( let alone BDK, sorry ). It's magnetic and clean and sweet..all the same time ! Stellar Silk is literally the perfect name. It's strong and unique and bold to be "Stellar" but also smooth to be literal silk. woof drooling.

My sales associate introduced me to this fragrance today and I was absolutely floored upon first sniff. I haven't felt this way smelling a perfume in a while and it reminded me of how I felt when I first started getting into niche scents. It is buttery, sweet, smooth and creamy vanilla that has reignited something inside of me again. It feels incredibly complex but clean at the same time. Nuclear projection and incredibly long lasting, I think you can keep it at 2-3 sprays to last you all day without overwhelming everyone around you. I would pick this one up as soon as it hits discounters!

Smooth slight spice opening with ginger, cinnamon but becomes extremely linear afterwards of vanilla sandalwood. Nothing breakthrough or new in terms of profile, reminds me of Gris Charnel without the cardamom except one spray will fill a room and stay for 12+hrs. Sandalwood is not the most mass appealing, coupled with the longevity and sillage I would be very sparing with the sprays or you’re going to be that person. I think if I’m using this I’m actually keeping it to one spray total and layering with something else.

It reminds me of why I love Gris Charnel, not because they smell alike b/c they don't but they give me the same feeling. Both are smooth, comforting, and sophisticated without trying to hard. Stellar Silk just tells that story through vanilla instead of tea and woods. It's still going strong since 1:00 pm today and a lot of sweating and being outside. Smells plush, smooth, and comforting. It's vanilla but not cupcake or bakery kind. It's more of a creamy, airy vanilla wrapped in soft musk. 8.5/10
