How to change fragrances by seasons: a guide to weather and temperature
The same fragrance on a July afternoon and a January evening sounds like two different perfumes. In ...
North Star is a unisex fragrance by Maison d'Orient, released in 2025.
It is an eau de parfum with a distinctive oriental-floral character, where the freshness of citrus notes meets gentle sweetness and a warm, woody-balsamic depth.
The fragrance was created by Maison d'Orient, a Saudi Arabian perfume house specializing in unisex eau de parfum compositions.
North Star continues the brand’s signature direction: rich, noticeable and emotional fragrances that do not seek to go unnoticed.
The North Star composition is built on a contrast between a radiant opening, an elegant floral heart and a dense, warming base.
The citrus sparkle gradually softens into a caramel accord, while woody and spicy nuances add structure and volume to the scent.
On the skin, the fragrance feels dressy and fairly intense, combining sweetness, dry woods, a touch of spice and a smoky, resinous depth.
Warm gourmand and balsamic nuances are especially noticeable in the sillage, making North Star a good choice for those who enjoy expressive compositions with a distinct presence.
North Star is positioned as a unisex fragrance, so it can be chosen by both women and men.
It is not tied to a single style: on some skin it may smell softer and sweeter, while on other skin it can appear more austere, woody and spicier.
Thanks to its very strong sillage, the perfume is particularly suitable for cool weather, evenings, formal occasions and situations when you want to emphasize your individuality.
For the office or a small space, it is best to start with a minimal number of sprays and assess the development gradually.
The manufacturer has not provided precise recommendations for applying it to skin or clothing.
No separate collection for North Star has been announced, nor have any other concentrations of this fragrance.
Nevertheless, the release clearly highlights Maison d'Orient’s strength: the brand works with a rich oriental aesthetic while adapting it to a modern format, where citrus freshness and floral softness balance the dense base.
In terms of mood, North Star can be compared with Nabeel Acqua di Nabeel Absolute, Nabeel Amber and Eisenberg Back To Paris.
Among these points of reference, Nabeel Acqua di Nabeel Absolute will be especially appealing to those looking for a noticeable fragrance with an oriental mood who would like to continue exploring rich perfumes with a similar spirit.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The top notes open with juicy bergamot, fresh mandarin, and piquant pink pepper touched with red berries. This opening gives the composition a bright, sparkling, and subtly spicy character.
The heart unfolds with caramel, cedar, and iris. Caramel adds a soft gourmand sweetness, cedar creates a dry woody framework, while iris lends the fragrance a powdery elegance.
The base is built around incense, tonka bean, and vanilla.
Resinous, balsamic incense blends with the creamy sweetness of vanilla and the warm, spicy nuance of tonka, leaving a rich, long-lasting, and highly distinctive trail.
