The review

Stringy Star scores 7.7 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Étoile Filante.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Étoile Filante's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $50 per 100ml it costs 86% less than Étoile Filante — the cheapest of 2 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Louis Vuitton Étoile Filante is strawberry at first, magnolia, osmanthus and jasmine at its heart and white musk at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • strawberry

Heart

  • magnolia
  • osmanthus
  • jasmine

Base

  • white musk
Strawberry and magnolia over clean white musk, weightless and quick, gone almost as you notice it.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 3 twins of Louis Vuitton Étoile Filante we can price, Stringy Star is the cheapest per 100ml.

  1. 01 Perfume Parlour Stringy Star $50/100ml
  2. 02 Alexandria Fragrances Shooting Star $120/100ml
  3. 03 Palermo Perfumes Étoile Filante $22.75
