The story behind the bottle.
True Star Men by Tommy Hilfiger was launched in 2005 and captures the essence of a confident man who is both modern and lasting. Perfumer Annie Buzantian crafted this Woody Spicy fragrance, which opens with pink grapefruit and star anise, creating a bright yet warm contrast that immediately draws attention. The heart notes of freesia and orris root add a soft floral touch, while the base notes of leather, sandalwood, vanilla, and saffron bring depth and warmth. This composition balances freshness and sophistication, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
Apply True Star Men with one generous spray to ensure its bright top notes are noticeable. The fragrance develops over time, so allow it to settle for about 10 minutes before heading out. It's best suited for daytime wear when the warmth of its base notes complements cooler temperatures.
