The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2004 by perfumer Raymond Matts, True Star by Tommy Hilfiger is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of modern elegance. The composition opens with a burst of fresh citrus and ozonic notes, creating an invigorating yet delicate atmosphere. This freshness leads into a heart of white florals and fruity accords, which add a touch of sweetness without overpowering the crispness. Anchored by aldehydic and musky undertones, True Star maintains a balance between freshness and warmth throughout its moderate longevity.
Two sprays on pulse points are sufficient for this fragrance. It blooms best when given a moment to settle on the skin rather than being overapplied. True Star is versatile enough for both daytime and evening wear but reads better close to the skin than in a room.
