Starstruck
ALT. Fragrances is an indie brand focused on creating distinctive, unconventional scents that push beyond typical fragrance conventions. Their approach prioritizes unusual ingredient combinations and artistic expression over mainstream appeal.
Starstruck opens with an unexpected woody-gourmand blend, combining toffee sweetness with guaiac wood, spruce, and buchu for an angular, slightly herbal start. The heart softens into amber and labdanum, with cilantro adding green spice alongside earthy mushroom and syrup notes that maintain the gourmand character. The base deepens with georgywood and musk, while mushroom and rosemary create an earthy, somewhat savory finish that complicates the sweetness. Overall, this is a floral oriental that leans gourmand and woody rather than traditionally romantic or soft, with mushroom functioning as a structural element that gives the scent an unusual, grounded quality.
Starstruck works best for those comfortable with unconventional fragrances and mushroom-forward compositions. It suits cooler seasons and evening wear, particularly if you appreciate scents that shift between sweetness and earthiness. This fragrance aligns with The Romantic, The Reverie, and The Hedonist archetypes.
