Morning Star

The house draws on the myth of dawn and twilight, in which two celestial siblings end up becoming one star. On the skin, it opens bright and a little spicy: bergamot freshens it up, pink pepper and cinnamon add warmth, and a clean incense wraps it like pale smoke. Then it softens: jasmine and lily of the valley bring a fresh floral touch, and a milky note gives it a velvety texture. As it dries down, it leaves a dry, elegant woodiness, with cedar, vetiver and patchouli.

Morning Star is a woody eau de parfum from Liquides Imaginaires, created by Louise Turner and released in 2026 according to Fragrantica. The perfumer is also the creator of Blanche Bête and Beauté du Diable at the same house. Here she works with modern woods like Georgywood and Akigalawood, which give the base a dry, bright tone.

Fits well in the shoulder seasons, in spring and autumn, and works just as well by day as by night. If incense appeals to you but you want it clear and never heavy, it is a good starting point. For layering, its milky note pairs with Blanche Bête, by the same perfumer, and its incense-and-wood side is well supported by Lunatique.
