Can anyone say Thierry Mugler Angel? That's exactly what this bottle reminds me off, rip off just like its creator. It is quite heavy to carry actually, I thought it may be light and it has yet another rip off feature. A ring you can pull out of the top just like Vera Wang princess. Call me picky but I hate copy cats. The opening notes of the perfume seems to be to be very manufactured. The pear notes and fruity scents seem to remind me of the smells you put in gumdrops. Good for foods bad for perfumes. These tones are there throughout underpinning the fragrance. Yuck! When the fragrance gets into full bloom it has floral tones accented with plum which yet again are ...  Read the complete review

Avril Lavigne is a Canadian singer born in 1984, known for hits such as Complicated and Girlfriend. More recently, she has joined the increasingly long list of celebrities who have their own line of fragrances. In 2009, her first perfume Black Star was released, followed by Forbidden Rose in 2010. I am not a fan of Avril. She's okay, but I've never bought her CDs and tend to regard her as yet another rather over-rated pop star. However, I had about £15's worth of Boots Clubcard points and wanted to treat myself to another celebrity fragrance. I like sweet, fruity perfumes and have bought quite a few in the last few years including J-Lo's Glow and all of ...  Read the complete review

I'm not normally a fan of celebrity perfume but I'm prepared to give most a try. I recently had a sample of Avril Lavigne Black Star, her first perfume. I really know nothing about the singer other than her name. My perfume is a little sample bottle which I got as a freebie in a local department store but the full size bottle comes in a silver and pink shiny box. The bottle is a quirky slightly lop sided star shaped glass bottle with a black faceted diamond shaped lid, around the neck of the bottle is what looks like a silver studded dog collar but in fact its actually a ring which you could wear. The bottle strikes me as a younger persons style, especially with ...  Read the complete review

I did say expect quite a few perfume based reviews from me over the next few days and I do intend to live up to my word and slowly but surely work my way through my ever growing perfume collection. Now when it comes to 'celeb' fragrances I was never that big a fan until I started trying a few and was pleasantly surprised by quite a few of them so I decided to try even more starting with this 'Avril Lavigne - Black Star' which I believe was her first perfume attempt. I used to love Avril's music when I was a bit younger but I was unsure whether I would be so thrilled with her fragrance as I must admit I assumed it would be one of those girly, tween fragrances but I have ..  Read the complete review

Black Star is the first fragrance that the Canadian singer Avril Lavigne has released and became available in the UK from September 2009. Shortly after it becoming available here I purchased a gift set from Boots costing £20 although as of now it seems this set is no longer available from Boots. The Avril Lavigne gift set came in a black box with a nice clear image of the contents inside. which included: a 30ml bottle of the fragrance Black Star, a 50ml tube of Black Star body lotion and an evening bag. When opening the gift set I immediately picked up the fragrance and the design of the bottle is very funky. The bottle is star shaped, with a ...  Read the complete review
