Estrella De La Manana Extrait

I generally like smoky scents with unsweetened chocolate and this was safe but just ok for me. The fruity leather made it sweet though the chocolate was not. Mass appealing for the less adventurous dipping toes into niche smoky gourmand. I prefer a woodier smoke than an ashy smoke and this leaned ashy. Other smoky scents I prefer is Zoologist T-Rex (unique and animalic).

Originality at its finest. Estrella De La Manana is a complex, enigmatic, unapologetic, bold, dark, warm, rich, sweet, smoky fragrance. You get birch, smokiness, vanilla, cocoa all perfectly layered. It’s like sitting at the fireplace with a wonderful sweet treat like a s’mores. It’s the marriage of the masculine heavy birch and smoke with the feminine cozy notes of vanilla and benzoin. You really smell everything perfectly balanced. A sophisticated work of art in my eyes. I also get a little bit of a fluffed almond maybe from the carrot seed and a little rum, and slight fruitiness.

This fragrance 100% makes me feel like the highest most powerful version of my self.

Estrella de la Manana also reminds me of the winter and the snow at night. Not just a little bit of snow, it’s a full on decadent blizzard-y winter wonderland with a fire outside. It also reminds me of an old fashioned traditional Christmas. It’s got that lost in the old world sort of charm but still has a new/modern gourmand sort of slight edge in a super unique way. Even though it’s very daring and dark it’s balanced beautifully and carefully with the vanilla and benzoin/etc.

This is a 12/10 fragrance for me. My absolute favorite fragrance in my collection. Do try it in your lifetime it’s absolutely mind blowing!

P.S. This is not a safe blind buy nor is it a good fragrance for people who like gentle soft fragrances

It is a very nice scent and quite different than the average perfume ! I find it smoky but in the most pleasant way ! I actually like it a lot !

If you’re ready to step into your dark, moody era with style, Estrella de la Mañana is calling your name. This is not your soft, cuddly vanilla—it’s bold, unapologetic, and built for those who own their energy. Imagine rich cocoa powder dusted over smoldering birch wood—it’s smoky, slightly mysterious, and absolutely captivating. It’s the kind of scent that commands attention, like walking into a room wearing all black and owning the vibe.

Now, if you’re expecting a light gourmand, think again. The cocoa dominates in the opening, giving off a velvety smoothness, but as it dries down, the darker notes—like leather and birch—start to peek through. Some might call it masculine, but I’d say it’s perfectly unisex, leaning dark and sultry. It’s definitely for colder days or nights when you’re channeling your inner powerhouse.

For fans of Amouage Royal Tobacco, this could be your cocoa-based cousin. It swaps the tobacco and herbal twists for a smoky chocolate vibe, which makes it equally luxurious but with a sweeter edge. Just don’t blind-buy unless you’re comfortable with darker, intense scents—this one isn’t for the faint-hearted. But for those who love rich, enigmatic perfumes, Estrella de la Mañana is pure magic.

Deep, rich, intoxicating, addictive, comforting, and long-lasting. Charred vanilla pod and smokey dark woods. One of my all-time favorites. Parfum Exquis consistently surpasses my expectations!
