The vintage edition (frosted midnight blue glass) was distributed by a division of Elizabeth Arden, while the newer edition (non frosted glass flacon) was launched under Coty Prestige.Lagerfeld's love of high quality paper was reflected in the Sun Moon Stars creation, that is why the specific, wet paper dustiness is present in the composition.The fragrance accompanies the bottle’s design perfectly; it is long lasting and intoxicating. It opens with fruity-floral notes of freesia, bergamot, pineapple, orange blossom, lotus, rice and juicy peach. The heart of this exotic fragrance is created of heliotrope, intensive jasmine, orange blossom, daffodil, carnation, lily of the valley, seductive orchid and iris.
