STARDUST by MiN NEW YORK opens with a crisp burst of fizzy aldehydes paired with cool violet leaf and spicy carnation. The initial spray feels icy and clean, reminiscent of starched linen or high-end cosmetic powder. As it settles, Egyptian jasmine and Turkish rose emerge in the heart, softened by bitter Tunisian orange blossom to keep the floral core dry rather than sweet. The base grounds the cold florals with dense oakmoss, warm tonka bean, and clean white musk. This contrast gives the fragrance a distinct clean-soap texture with subtle earthy depth underneath. It wears close to the skin after the first hour, making it ideal for quiet indoor environments or cool spring mornings.
