About This Perfume
Ulric de Varens UDV Star smells like clean citrus breeze with lavender leather. It opens with bergamot and mandarin orange, moves into lavender and sage and settles on leather and patchouli. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days and the office. Released in 2017.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
