by Bath & Body Works
In The Stars by Bath & Body Works is a distinctive fragrance that stands out within the brand's typically sweet and fruity line. It features a bright tangerine opening, balanced by warm amber and sandalwood, with a subtle powdery and musky dry down, creating a refined, unisex scent that feels both elegant and accessible. The fragrance is widely perceived as a close, albeit slightly sweeter and more citrus-forward, cousin to Baccarat Rouge 540, with some noting its similarity to Ariana Grande's Cloud, though others emphasize it as less sweet and more woody than Cloud. Many users appreciate its sophisticated, expensive aura despite its low price point, with some comparing it to niche perfumes like Creole Royal Princess Oud or Mancera Instant Crush. A few describe it as having an incense-like or subtle plastic note, but this is not universal. Longevity is moderate to good for a body spray—up to 6 hours in some cases—and it performs best when layered with other scents or used with complimentary body care products. The scent is often described as warm, comforting, and ideal for evening wear or on nights when one seeks a sensual, charismatic presence. It serves well as a reusable dupe or companion to more expensive perfumes like BR540 and is suitable for casual to formal settings.
