There's a special corner of the fragrant firmament reserved for perfumes that go beyond the expected and transcend whatever notions pop into your head when you hear the name or read the notes. Orange Star is one of those remarkable ones, a special fragrance bursting with twinkling citruses like clementine, red mandarine, lemongrass, and brought halfway down to earth with the barely reined-in lusty notes of ambergris, vanilla, patchouli and the resinous ambreine. In between the heavens and earth are a clean and unfussy orange flower and a soft, powdered violet flower with just a tinge of wood. Orange Star bursts with sunny optimism while staying out of airhead territory with a golden incense-like base. A vibrant (and unisex) perfume that's out of this world.

Here's what other people are saying about Orange Star...

This is pure soap on me. Perhaps the fanciest soap ever, but soap nonetheless. Two stars instead of one because I'd love to have some hand soap that smells like this.

I tried and liked a sample of Orange Star about 10 years ago but didn't purchase it as I had too much perfume at the time. Fast forward to 2020 and the year of COVID and much sadness and isolation. I tried my sample again and found a small decant to make sure I love it as much as I think I do. I do! and will soon buy a full bottle from Lucky Scent. Orange Star lifts my spirits, is long lasting, and blends perfectly with my body chemistry. It is both fresh and deep (a very odd combination, I know),, but the mandarin, lemongrass and flowers are well supported by the ambergris, patchouli, vanilla, and ambreine, making a lovely mix of cool (especially violet) and warmth. I'm glad I revisited Orange Star.

Absolutely sickening. I bought a FB without sampling first, on the strength of Tauer's other work. Tried it twice - the second time because I wanted to believe the first sniff wasn't as horrible as I thought. No luck. Straight to the trash.

Radiant and always pleasant, Orange Star is perfectly acceptable and altogether boring.

All I smelled was baby aspirin.

Started off a juicy but not sweet orange. Then, I must cast my lot in with the washing powder impression. Alas.

This one really puzzles me. I love the notes listed, but the only thing I get out of this is a really strong,unpleasant odor of washing powder. Sad, because it sounds so wonderful on the right person...

at first whiff, I was sort of put off by this one. but thank goodness I stuck with it and got to know it better. this is a perfume you have to sample and see what it does after a few hours. this is a gorgeous perfume. i can't get enough. it has really deep incense, which I normally don't go for, but paired with the vibrant juicy orange, it's just wonderful. i can't get enough of this. it lasts a long long time and I love experiencing the fragrance as it unfolds and changes through the day.

Absolutely delicious on femme or homme. Mood-changing with every whiff; memorable. Not so much incense as spice layered under citrus.

One of his best yet.

By Aaron - Designer from Los Angeles on 6/10/2010

This scent was very surprising to me - although incense (frankincense in particular) is not listed as a note, the drydown smells very much like his Incense Extreme, with a layer of citrus on top. I really like it and this is going to be a nice summer incense!

By Tara - Consultant from San Diego on 6/10/2010

They should have called this "orange washing powder' that's exactly how it smells to me. All these citrusy oils, ugh! It's got a touch of warmth and spice, so its not terrible, but I would not buy or recommend this. Might be ok on a bloke.

By Melissa - admin from melb on 6/9/2010

Andy's new achievement is an utterly cheering, buoyant kiss of varied, nearly edible citrus... ..given Tauer-style sophistication with sweet and astringent balsamas and delicate floralcy whispering behind the citrus. Antidepressant, cheering, optimistic, clean/sweet, hint perhaps of cassia? Like the most delicious chewing gum you've ever tasted.

By davdi lincoln brooks - digital artist from börne, tx, usa on 6/8/2010

This is a fragrance for men. I ordered an entire bottle unsampled because I adore Tauer and orange. Not so orange....lots of grassy herb. My 14 yr old son may make use of it.

By Queen of Stinks - SLP from NJ on 5/8/2010

All i can say is "Andy you have done it again, this is superb!" What a beautiful fragrance, i cannot stop smelling my arm.
