I have this for a while now. I don’t use it often as it is just a plain like for me. I thought about sell it/give it away a few times, but yesterday I sprayed it in my inner elbow and like the scent I was smelling enough to make me think again about keeping it or not. For now I will still keep it. Changing my mind about perfumes happens pretty often and doesn’t make it easier for me to maintain my collection, sigh.. It happened not just once in the last few years that a simple like or even a meh/dislike turned into a solid like/love.

I bought the 100ml bottle and shocked that the bottle was a pale green instead of neon pink. I enjpyed the accessory ring though. The scent itself is a light sweet spray of dark chocolate, echoed by the grape and mango before it sits with a faint vanilla- floral note. It reminds me of the period where I listened to Avril’s goodbye lullaby album and thoroughly enjoying it too.
Vova_2210 – :
I love this fragrance but my only issue is the color change. At time of purchase it was a bright pink liquid but now it’s almost clear. I store all my perfumes in a cool dark area away from light so I’m not sure why the color disappeared but it never changed the fragrance. Still a wonderful little gem.
vormix5 – :
I have a pretty long story about this fragrance.
‘Black Star’ always be on my wish list since I’ve seen the ads. The bottle design is so eyes-catching.
Back to mid-2010 I had a chance to try it on perfume store but it didn’t impress me much. So I decided to not buy it. However, I always regret after knowing that it was discontinued. So I have no choice but to order it on ebay before it disappears. (I was lucky to get 100ml. NIB bottle which is rare to find)
I can smell strong dark chocolate right at first sniff then I get some sweet dry down. It’s a bold mix but I find it smells good and interesting. (I think because my taste has changed from when I was younger.)
This one has the best longevity and sillage out of Avril’s fragrance line. I feel so great I got 100ml. bottle and I feel so happy everytime I see it on my shelf. <333
tars81 – :
I’ve had this fragrance for a while; unfortunately, the pink color fades over time, but its qualities don’t change too much as a result. I don’t remember anything specific about the notes, but I know that I had a lot of fun wearing this a few years ago, and I hope to be able to try more of Avril’s fragrances in the future!
PEGASoo – :
On my skin, this smells like vanilla and perhaps some white flowers, nothing else. Quite boring if I may say it myself. Smells also like one of Veets hair removal wax.
klotkar – :
I purchased this fragrance today. I pulled the bottle out of the box and was slightly disappointed. I was looking forward to this fragrance mainly because I thought the liquid would be a gorgeous hot pink colour. I was surprised with a yellow green colour. So, I was a little disappointed that it was false advertisement. However, love the smell
cky043JeomiWogkig – :
Despite having different notes, this reminds me a lot of Burberry Brit EDT.
ashot777 – :
It smells like a cheap bonbon with too much vanillin (not vanilla), filled with boozy dried blackcurrants. Ugh…
ВИТОК – :
This smell to me smells like a mix of kid, teen and adult fragrance all in one. Its very unusual to me. I found a 1.0oz bottle of this on ebay for $12… so I bought it. The smell is very pleasant though. Black Star is an EXCELLENT name for this perfume.
vfrc-80 – :
Some of the notes that come through are nice – mango, black currant, musk – but it smells quite cheap and lasts a matter of minutes on me.
Terhadeicexia – :
Oh, a lovely fragrance! I loved this one, specially chocolate notes 🙂 Unfortunately, doesn’t last long 🙁 But the aroma is super!
Coyote – :
Looks like a nice day in April for a spritz of Avril. Temps in the 50’s, breezy, with wonderful sun. The currant really is noticeable (or is it “black plum”)? Mixed with pear, this scent is simply delicious. The lack of any citrus is truly appreciated during these winter to spring days. As the floral notes linger, I reapply for a nibble of chocolate. Yum 😉
Memct623elipseskism – :
I dont get how people smell chocolate.. this isnt unique or anything its just something cheap and fun for tweens and little girls to use,its just this juicy fruit mix,with some light vanilla musk,i dont smell florals at all,not as i expected,love avril and her style and i thought this would be a strong gourmand with the cocoa but i was wrong,this is too airy and light to be something by avril..i wish i could return this,on a side note,try forbidden rose instead

gikalor – :
Purchased this yesterday as a blind buy and I must say it’s really nice. A very safe fragrance to wear anytime day or night. The jasmine dominates the top notes but then it quickly dries down to a mellow vanilla chocolaty scent. This fragrance tends to stick close to the skin so I like spraying it directly on my clothing to help radiate the scent. This is a must have in anyone’s collection.
Widuc – :
I received this perfume yesterday after I bought it on Amazon for £14! Was intrigued by the scent from the reviews I’d read on here. The bottle is pretty but the juice inside is clear (not pink, as depicted.) The actual scent is pleasant but very weak and a bit baby powdery as opposed to sweet and fruity. All I can really detect is a hint of watered down cocoa and vanilla in a way that is not nearly as delicious as I was expecting. Overall I give the scent a 6/10, it’s ok but I won’t repurchase!
tdm785Bessinepome – :
Nice simple fragrance. Very wearable but doesn’t last long at all wich is a shame really because it could be a nice scent if it wasn’t little stronger & lasted longer
choox – :
Black Star? was Avril thinking of the anime character from Soul Eater? its such a shame that this discontinued 🙁 this is such a nice, simple and sweet scent that I will forever miss! ladies and gentlemen, stock up while you still can! buy testers if you have too.(I hate it when scents I fall in love with discontinue!) anywho about this scent….
Black Star isnt a huge BAM! IN YO FACE! sugar bomb of sweets and candy, Black Star is rather calm like the song that was used for the commercial. I get a soft and sweet opening of light fruits,I dont really get much florals but I guess it’s there to tame the candyish drydown from being sickly sweet and it sure did a great job, the chocolatly dry down is pleasant, not too sickly but not to dull either.
projection: decent I suppose! it may not be heavy but its sure noticable without being to strong, I notice the scent projection is lovely at night while outdoors.
lasting power? not too long but good enough if your just running errands or kicking back relaxing. you really wont need to reapply much but you may wanna bring the bottle with you for a touch up or 2
weather: any time! its fair enough for both warm and cold but I notice it smells really amazing at night in warm weather
Avril did an amazing Job on this and I ended up loving her more after smelling her fragrances! I hope she considers making more in the future! you dont even have to be a fsn to enjoy Black Star
kirill 29 – :
I have had this perfume for about 2 years, and it’s one of my favorite perfumes. It’s sad that it has been discontinued after all these years. To me this perfume is more spicy, and that’s because of the chocolate, and the black current, and the dry down is more fruity. I say this perfume is best for nights in the fall and winter. Overall I give this fragrance a 10/10 because it’s different than anything that I’ve and to me it stands out.
lxupkasych – :
I spray this in winter, however, reached for it today (must be the black currant). August is a scent “free for all” month for me. Mix it up ladies…especially in the evening.
япония – :
It’s odd, I couldn’t see how this could be anything like burberry brit from the notes like some of the other reviews mention, but they’re right. there is a burberry brit quality to it, I think it must be the pear and chocolate from this that reflects the pear and vanilla in brit.
But it’s not exactly like it, either. I think I also get hints of the hibiscus in there which I love, it’s really light but it’s there and it’s awesome. it’s a really great fragrance and I hear discontinued? I think it’s still on fragrancenet so I’ll need to stock up.
But frankly, the color is NOTHING like the picture, not knowing the original when it first came out, I can’t say if I got one that faded due to age or if that’s just the way it is, but it is not a bright neon pink. Much more dull color, but fortunately it still smells great.
Agree with the other reviewers though, it doesn’t last that long, but considering I like to wear mine to work, that’s really a plus because it means it’s not overpowering. Definitely a love for me. a non-citrus, more chocolate, fruity burberry.
xdi553InsuffBooni – :
I adored this perfume. It was my signature for a long while until they discontinued it 🙁 I like the fruity vanilla combination and couldn’t find anything that would stick so well with me ever since. It lasted a decent amount of time and the bottle was adorable. Very girly and quite elegant.
cosmozu – :
this perfume is a floral vanilla. it has fruity hints here and there and a little bit of the checolate toward the end but its mainly vanilla and flowers
mackey70 – :
This could be a perfect dupe for Burberry Brit. My sister had just sprayed this on and I was like did you just spray on Burberry Brit and she was like no this is Black Star. The notes are very similar – I can smell vanilla and milk in both of them. Black star is very sweet too but I cannot smell any cocoa. I would wear this during the day in winter and Burberry Brit during the night in winter.
MypeWiffibeh – :
Pleasant and sweet but nothing very special. I cannot distinguish any note – just that blury cheep-cupcake-like sweetness. Neither vanilla, nor sugar or chocholate – something undistinguishible. Longlasting however keeps close to the skin.
Safe for really young girls.
chess1886 – :
One of my favorites!! I actually like Avril MORE now that I have her perfumes! (I’m a punk at heart, but I’m an old school 33-year old punk!) I found Black Star 3.4 testers on ebay for $15 shipped, so I have 3 of them! One was still the rich pink color, one was so-so pink, and one was sort of greenish, but as far as I can tell it smells the same. The ring is adorable (but probably unwearable!). I love the sent. It’s sweet, but not overpowering like Pink Friday, Fantasy, etc… (which I love, I’m not knocking the super sweets– I actually love the foody gourmands!)
Now that I own Burberry Brit, I can totally smell one or two notes that are similar to Black star!
I just get a scent I enjoy… not one note is that noticable.
nekit-skibin – :
“Black star black star…you will always be my black star.” Or will you lol? 🙂 This was my only real perfume back in 2010…I had a sort of obsession with it…but that could have to do with my Avril Lavigne obsession. Luckily I moved on 🙂 and now I’m more into white florals. This is a pretty strong perfume and if you don’t like sweet and strong-you may not like it. This is also pretty fruity for my new taste…as a teen I loved it though! If your teen daughter has a little Avril obsession she will love Black Star! I can smell the plum and dark chocolate very easily. Jasmine and musk give it a kick too. Punk Rock Princess Avril could be your black star today! But…maybe this perfume is too “complicated” for you…with all its notes? Test this first <3 good luck!
wagearman – :
hmm, what i can say about this, my bottle dont came pink, just bege, i was expectin a stronger power fruit smell, but instead that, i think its a very soft, chocolate bubblegun smell, its not very fruit, its more chocolate and a little fruit mix together, the dry down its very nice, very sweet, its not a bad fragrance, but in cause that have so power bottle and box i was thinking its a little more explosive.
alAmigos – :
I loved this at first sniff. I thought the spike ring on the bottle was a bit ridiculous…lol. However, the fragrance was far more sophisticated than I expected. The chocolate smell is faint to me but definitely there. This doesn’t make it overly gourmand–which I like. This fragrance is rich and warm on me without being overwhelming. It is a bit strong at first, but the dry down comes quickly. Lasts about 6 hours. My bf says this fragrance smells like home when I wear it. Sold!
vsolov – :
I can’t pin-point exactly what it smells.. But I get tons of flashbacks from this perfume, from years ago when I used it as my signature scent! Ahh, memories…
I’m still loving this perfume though and saved the gorgeous bottle, however it isn’t really my type of perfume anymore. I would say it is somewhat sharp in the beginning, then it shies away a bit and becomes nice yet noticeable.
I can imagine that sensitive people could get headaches from this perfume, just a small warning. Sometimes even I get a bit dizzy from this perfume, and I layer my other perfumes heavily! Got to be a bit careful with this one.
autoleder24 – :
i smell no chocolate at all,i smell crisp pear,hibiscus makes it girly and probably a little blackcurrant idk but the pear smells slightly sweaty… in a good way:s i thought abril was gonna make this rocker punk sweet scent but it turned out to be a body spray for tweens..
den—– – :
i dont smell any pear at all! and no chocolate it smells like a men cologne, a very weak perfume
flandin – :
Maybe I have the EDT version of this as my liquid isn’t pink it’s just clear, so not sure as of why but I do really like this scent I smell the chocolate as soon as I spray in fact chocolate is the only note I smell in this :/ I can’t seem to pick up on anything nice. This is the only chocolate scent I own and I love it.
LiliputNewGenius – :
Bottle and packaging:9/10
Unique:2/10

Everybody can wear it,but its not a very “WOW!” Fragrance,not bad,least between avril’s frags
Artenchik – :
A nice gourmand. Pretty average, not much to say about this. I like it, but it doesn’t wow me. I own a 10ml bottle of this, which is just a plain clear vial. So sad! I know I would have liked the bottle so much. I think it’s great!
At first Black Star is fresh and a little bit citrucy but soon it turns into pure chocolate/vanilla mix with some fruits deep inside and it stays that way. Cute and sweet. The downside is that this stays close to the skin. Not much projection.
I have already used over a half of my little bottle and I really have to consider if I want a new bottle. I truly can’t say. It’s that average.
Choodia – :
A lovely smell of a fresh bouquet of flowers. I don’t smell chocolate, just flowers. A pretty, innoffensive perfume.
dimakozlov2006 – :
Didn’t smell chocolate. 🙁 Quite devastated.
redevil13_666 – :
I don’t reach often for it but OH, it is soo good.
very well balanced, choccolate sweet, soft spicy, balmy.
one of the best choccolaty-fragrances I’ve ever smelled on my skin.
(ex. it’s a 100x better than ck one shock, which has also choccolate in it.)
Fantastic sweet perfume, even it is an Avril Lavigne frag though. sorry, I don’t like all the others of her range.
СОФА – :
Nice but try its successer Forbidden Rose: fantastic
Dmitry.Guk – :
I have this perfume because I’m a chocolate lover. It’s actually a blind buy since I ordered this one online.
But guess what, it smells SO GOOD!
I don’t regret buying this because I really can smell the chocolate. Black star is absolutely a warm fragrance you can wear for autumn or winter. But it’s also fresh. I live in a tropical country and wearing this isn’t a bad decision though. I can smell vanilla and black current notes too which makes this perfume such a beautiful mixing of fruity and chocolate. Sweet and smells quite expensive. It doesn’t last long on me but I’m not saying it has weak power. It’s my favourite EDP and since it’s not too cheap, I don’t wear it often 🙂
So chocolatey!
Likstem41 – :
this fragrance really suprised me !
it’s fresh,floral,sweet and suprisely longlasting!!
i’m not a fan of avril and i dislike most celebrity fragrances but this one really surprised me in a good way!
definitely a nice gift for (young)teen girls!
nikita-manzuk – :
I was actually really surprised but I really enjoy this scent.
Its sweet and girly and can be worn every day IMO
I would purchase this again for sure.
I love the spike ring that came with the bottle too 🙂
Rock on Avril !!
I think the bottle is cute too. Its a perfume I reach for a lot more then most of my perfumes 🙂
dimanus81 – :
Yuck!! Sorry, smells cheap and unoriginal. Maybe something little girls will like.
Bleliaappebra – :
Mexican chocolate is new for me. I liked this scent, not too strong 🙂 go Av!
Laulleyetew – :
I absolutely love this perfume. It smells really sweet and girly, and that’s my favorite kind of scent. I thought the bottle looked cool too. I finished the bottle, but I definitely plan on getting more!
unlomourl – :
I’m actually on my second bottle of this now, since right after I finished my 30mL, my grandmother bought me a 50mL because she loved the scent on me so much. It mainly smells like plum and dark chocolate on me. It lasts on my skin for about 5 hours. Although I don’t find that it smells particularly “edgy,” I love the perfume and would say it’s a fun and youthful scent.
xxxSianxxx – :
I like the playfulness of this fragrance and when it settles down it’s really enjoyable. Sadly I find the beginning little too fruity sweet and candy-like (even though I tend to be a fan of sweet frags!). The opening is kinda artificial too which bothers me in Forbidden Rose too. This is more fruity than gourmand on my skin and I can barely detect chocolate while the mango and pear are very dominant. Lovely, but quite simple.
natta.virlan – :
Yes!!! This is very very similiar to Burberry Brit!! VERY SIMILIAR!!!!!
ol19shh – :
Smells EX-ACT-LY like Burberry Brit to me. Which… that used to be one of my favorite scents, but it’s not what I wanted. 🙁 Plus it just does not last at all. I was spraying it as if it was an EDT but it’s an EDP! 🙁 The only great thing was (get this…) the drydown AFTER I had been laying in bed half asleep. It seemed to come alive with vanilla sweetness! I was like I wish wish wish it would have been like this all the time! I am looking for sweet and creamy… I think my next quest is Katy Perry Meow.
Thersiche – :
This seems to smell a bit different each time I wear it, and it also evolves quite a bit during wear. At first, I thought I smelled chocolate and citrus, with some berries in the background. Now when I wear it, I smell chocolate and berries, with no citrus. Ah well, chemistry. However it smells each day, it always smells good! At first, I always detect a sweet, tart, almost boozy smell, so inviting. Then it settles into a calmer sweet scent, before evenually settling into a faint musk at the end. The bottle is gorgeous. The lasting power is weak, unfortunately. Within an hour, the delicious top and middle notes are gone, and I can barely detect the base.
Катерина – :
@@Rickyfreaky13 The first bottle of this I purchased was an ugly light pinkish beige.. I brought it back to store and they said they’ve never seen that before and exchanged it for a new one that was more of a muted hot pink (if that makes sense). If you aren’t sure bring it back to the store and hold it against theirs.
I really like Avril so was going to get this perfume no matter what. It smells like cheap perfume with an overwhelmling alcohol smell.. I don’t smell anything fruity in it at all. I hate it but still support her.
xlsanlx – :
@Cosminsolomon: Ow thanks.. i’m fine now, hahahhaa… 😀
lenika – :
Can anybody help me? I bought a bottle of this, but the color is not pink (shocking), it’s sort of not very pink, a little purple maybe. Is yours bottle like that too?
tyt08031988 – :
Pretty bottle but I don’t like her perfumes at all. I just can’t like it. I guess I don’t like typical teen-drugstore scents..
fcm654InsuffBooni – :
Its not often that you find a bottle that actually makes you WANT to get a tiny 5ml size. I don’t even care what it smells like (not hugely into Celebriscents) but, I just want a sample size bottle shaped like that!!!!
erohin – :
I smelled this about 3-4 years ago when the fragrance first came out and I loved it. I could definetly smell the plum and other berries, and then smelled the chocolate as it dried down. I smelled it again 2 days ago and it was horrible. It was VERY high in alcohol and didnt smell right, Im pretty sure they stopped making it they just sell it now, cause after about 2 years a perfume loses its scent and becomes very alcohol-y 🙁 They need to stop selling this if it was made so long ago and just make new bottles available. Very awesome bottle also
naruto2210 – :
got a sample of this before. defo smell the chocolate… but after a while it smells like beer? i dunno. sweet scent nonetheless.
oboltus35 – :
I think it’s okay, but I bought a different perfume today instead. It smelled good in the bottle, but I didn’t really dig how it smelled on me. I prefer Forbidden Rose (and hate Wild Rose). The best thing I can say for it is that the sweet notes are not overpowering or nauseating. Not overly young either.
lsa60 – :
The 15 minutes first reminds me of Jessica Simpson Fancy Love, very lovely… i really love this scent.. sweet but not overpowering. I can wear this any moment any time.
0_35 – :
i smelled this in kohls and it did smell sweet and fruity but it wasnt overly sweet, not at all
sk2910 – :
On me BLACK STAR is more of a fruity/floral, rather then a gourmand. The plum note is the strongest, and stayed with me all the way through the floral heart notes. The result was that I couldn’t separate any of the floral notes – they are just a slightly powdery blur.
The dark chocolate in the base was also very subtle; I could pick out the slightest coca/vanilla tone. I’d have thought the base would be sweet, but it’s not. I think there is patchouli here too, giving everything a dark, richer scent.
BLACK STAR is all about the fruit notes, so if your looking for a fragrance based around chocolate, you’ll be disappointed.
I like BLACK STAR, but don’t love it. Having said that, I do think it is really good overall for a celebrity fronted, inexpensive, mass market release. I’d say it’s best for the 21+ crowd, despite the celebrity and the packaging.
ganabisvodka – :
is it just me, or does it smell minty after about a few minutes?
ivanywka – :
i tried this out when i was shopping once…it smelled AWFUL.i remember it smelling great when i just sprayed it on,but when it got to the base notes it smelled like some strong,spicy candle.yuck.i seriously don’t get how it smells sweet also.
DERSAI – :
its my favourite perfume. it is fresh and ilike the smell after shower. best for teens.
sirartem – :
this is a wonderful powdery scent, I really really like it.
vipbomberoo7 – :
A fun, fruity, elating fragrance. This scent lifts my mood and I love wearing it on sunny days, particularly in the Spring and Autumn as it hangs better in the colder air. If it had better staying power on my skin, it would definately be a favourite of mine. I do love this scent, but it does wear off quite quickly unfortunately.
Ыкылас Оразгалыев – :
Got this on a blind buy. And all I have to say is that it smells ok. First I got a blast of pear with a hint of a chocolate scent. It really isn’t anything special. You need to smell it multiple times to identify what excatly it smells like. If you just take a quuick sniff it may smell like play dough or something. I wouldn’t purchase this scent. I would rather get wild rose instead.
AGR – :
A lovely scent that enthralls me but that is unfortunately ever so faint on my skin, hair and clothes.I love my mini but do not think i will get a f.b ;then again , who kows? wheareas the top notes are a real charmer, the heart and the drydown leave me wanting. Great scent but no staying power on me unfortunately ( i need my scents to be heady for them to linger on all day, Glad it is so liked but I will stick with Jessia’s covet, though it is not as gourmand. (guess i will just spritz some hard candy over it for a more gourmand feel from now on! xxx
ss_baurzhan – :
juz got sample of this,i dont really get chocolate smell to much.its more like sweet hibiscus mixed with chocolate but kinda of floral sweet soft scent..it is same group as JUICY COUTURE – VIVA LA JUICY..for me this scent is so comfort,adorable and innocent.its really for daytime fragrance.
tmv1962 – :
It smells really nice on clothes to and it lasts longer, because it doesn’t last long on the skin i love this perfume well done Avril! you can sing and make amazing perfume!!!! I think that as i have the 30ml bottle i might ask for the 100ml one for my birthday or next christmas 🙂
TundImminna – :
got sample of this, its boring, perfume about nothing, like not a black star – not black or not even a star, too generic. Avril, better stay on singing not on perfume making
bananka – :
I love this perfume and i find it really nice and I’m 13 and lot’s of my friends have it i love it! xxx
severok – :
At first, it’s a little powerful, but it smells wonderful with the hibiscus notes. After it settles, it’s a lovely smell. It fades a little too fast, but it’s definitely a daytime scent! I wear it during the summer, because it’s light and fun!
I recommend it, yes!
SearSkallyRer – :
This perfume is so lovely. Its fresh, fruity ( the mango – wow!), very very soft and feminine, not what you would expect from the design of the bottle, I dont know why but I expected rose or heavy floral. I had the gift set which included a studded make up bag and body lotion, very nice indeed, an unexpected treat! I cant say a bad word against it :o)
Accuntede – :
I don’t really like it, when I smellt it in the store it was very strong and smellt a bit weird. I’m not surr how to describe it. I really wanted it though since I love the packaging but I am definiteky not buying it, after testing it out.
dante1982 – :
i looooove this perfume,its basically everything i love combined together there are vanilla, chocolate, musk,etc. i actually reduce the usage because i cant find this perfume in my country:( (my friend bought me a bottle when she was abroad.) but if its available in my country, id wear it more often and will definitely buy another bottle:)
moa – :
Aw man, this is so COOL! The color of the juice! The bottle! The fancy little ring that comes with it! The scent…!…*sniff*…?
uh…
playdoh is cool and all… but I hafta decide if I really wanna pay money to smell like a preschooler (or a bored highschooler who played with it in German class :])
Raylenegf – :
i bought this from a bargain perfume internet store had never smelled it before and i love it
very bitter chocolate with jasmine and vanilla thats very subtle and delicious well at least on me
a friend of mine tried it on and it smelt really overly sweet on her
however it has little staying power 2-3 hrs and its gone which is sad as the smell is yummy
xram564 – :
sweet fruity scent for teens; slightly creamy, too sweet and cloying. musky chocolate and very sweet fruity notes are most prominent. you may find the whole beehive following your trace.
gibon – :
Great perfume!!! Very nice, not too sweet, but not too bitter. It’s the perfect combination of the fruits like mango with the dark chocolate, and blooms into something really nice. This would be suitable for younger kids, but adults could wear it if they’d like.
carrera2010 – :
OMG! I love this! Its super pretty and has a sweet scent but with a fun edge. I would buy this 4 any1!
savchuk_aleksey – :
yeah, this smells super cheap. and no, not in a good way! i HATE this. ew. it’s like straight cough syrup. and not even a yummy one. eek
vic1961 – :
I expected that Avril´s perfumes can´t be great but this is awfull. Too sweet! I sprayed it and i felt nausea. Bottle looks cheap and is good for 13 years old girls.
Malder – :
Someone told me this is like paco rabbane black xs? well the only thing in common is in the name BLACK! wasn’t keen on this and expected it to be more fruity and fun but it was rather dull smelling 🙁
snegir81ukr.net – :
I love this perfume!!!! it is heer best one.It was created for the girl who loves to stand out and express her own style. Black Star forever!!! and btw Avril is adorable.
gorlovka – :
Black star is a very pretty (if not unique)floral fruity, that is my personal favorite of her scents.
First the bottle is very striking. An eye catching color, the spiky metal collar and the onyx looking cap manage, in essence, to combine femininity, power and rock chick chic…which I think sums up Avril Lavigne’s image.
Although the perfume itself is reminiscent of many floral fruity celebrity scents and doesn’t bring anything exceptional to the ring, I still feel this is one of the slightly better ones because of the way the notes seem to mesh better than in others, and I do really like it.
There is a juicy, fruity opening before giving way to the floral notes (of which the jasmine was strongest) and then finally drying down to a mouthwatering chocolate vanilla, that’s very “foody” but not overly sweet…more of a comforting scent.
Unfortunately this is ANOTHER floral fruity perfume with lasting power that lets it down. It seems to be a common theme among this genre of perfumes, which is a shame because it’s really a beautiful fragrance.
It’s a nice fragrance to wear on a date…guys seem to like it, and initially the sillage isn’t bad.
No points for originality or longevity…but still it gets 7/10 overall from me.
Sergey1168 – :
This perfume is amazing! It’s her best one.
Black Star smells really good, and the appearance is unique. It’s quite different to forbidden rose and wild rose. I would recommend buying this one the most out of all her perfumes.

Bought this a couple months ago. I guess it’s alright. Not very much to my liking. It’s too sweet smelling for me. Maybe it works on younger people like teenagers.

I bought this one ’cause it smelled really good on a friend of mine. She smelled so sweet, yummy. But I guess it has to do with your skintype, ’cause it doesn’t smells lovely at my skin at all. It gives me a masive headache. A no-go for me.

Pleasant fragrance. Easily recognizable. Always original (everyone smells differently) Durable.
Heavy, unsuitable in tropical temperatures
Winter scent.

The bottle smelled wonderful but it smells nothing like what I thought it would. I was expecting something sharp and daring with great sillage because it smelled so strong and powerful. Turns out I could not be more wrong. I sprayed it on 2 hours ago and I can barely smell it now. At the mall this morning 6 hours ago I sprayed Jlo Glow (which I don’t like) and I sprayed Queen by Queen Latifah (which I love) and the Black Star has already faded as much as the other too. Poor longevity. It dries down to a powdery soft finish. But once again this is a typical celebre-scent overly sweet opening notes that dries down to an all too familiar sugary base. However this makes an acceptable fall/winter or evening scent. I am disappointed that Ms Lavigne would have associated herself wih something so uninspiring.

I have this and like it. It is more along the Anna Sui type of thing. Very innocent and calming and angelic. It is not for Perfume collectors or lovers really. It just won’t do it for them. It is just a nice soft smell. I find it just does not last on me so I have to keep spraying it but it won’t upset people around you. The chocolate can be a bit off putting some days so I have to be in the mood for it sometimes I wish the chocolate wasn’t there because I do like the fresh light flower smell on it’s own. I don’t think this is half as bad as some reviewers have said. That of course is their opinion and if that’s how they feel then that’s it for them. For me I think it is a nice first perfume for Avril. I have had 2 bottles now and I really don’t think it is that bad. It can be quite expensive at times so I only get it when it is on special because I would not pay a huge amount of money for it.

I have the body lotion, which was hard to find BTW, and it has pretty good lasting power. On me it smells like plums dipped in chocolate, but it’s a soft scent. I like it, though I don’t wear it often b/c it’s
