Wish Upon a Star
Fragrance notes
Character
Sebastiane builds Wish Upon a Star around a tart blackberry that opens with a sharp bite of anise. The fruit feels cool and slightly fizzy, never turning jammy or heavy. Magnolia and violet step in quickly, softening the edges with a powdery floral veil that sits close to the skin. The transition feels natural, moving from crisp fruit to a gentle bloom without losing the green thread that runs through the entire composition.
The base pulls the scent downward into damp grass, dry vetiver, and smooth sandalwood. This is where the fragrance finds its personality, trading the initial sweetness for a shaded, leafy character. It smells like walking through a garden after the sun disappears, when the air turns cool and the plants release their raw, earthy scent. The sandalwood adds a creamy warmth that keeps the grass and vetiver from feeling too austere.
Wish Upon a Star suits someone who enjoys floral scents but wants a distinct green edge to cut through the traditional softness. It feels intimate and thoughtful, perfect for a quiet evening on a patio or a late stroll under trees. The anise provides a soft spicy lift that prevents the flowers from becoming too sleepy, maintaining a lively spark throughout the wear.
The compromise here is the sweetness in the opening, which may feel out of place for those who strictly prefer dry, bitter greens. The fruity start lingers just long enough to potentially clash with the earthy base if you prefer a perfectly linear scent. It is a specific mood, and the powdery violet might simply be too much for anyone seeking a purely crisp, undecorated nature scent.
