Background and Creation
Taylor by Taylor Swift: Made of Starlight takes its name from Taylor’s song “Starlight,” which includes the lyric “Like we’re made of starlight.” Released as the second spin-off from her Taylor by Taylor Swift fragrance, it built on the original’s success, which had become one of her best-selling perfumes by 2013. She said:
«It evokes memorable nights spent with your best friends, combined with the romantic and playful spirit of the song’s lyrics.»
Although Made of Starlight mirrored Taylor’s boho-esque packaging and many of its crisp fruits and soft floral fragrance notes, it was noticeably lighter. Taylor’s aim was for her “fresh and feminine” scent to encapsulate all of her favorite things. Top notes of the composition provided a cheerful blend of apricot and exotic passion fruit, refreshed with fresh green mandarin leaves. The heart of the composition introduced a floral union of osmanthus, sweet honeysuckle and orange blossom resting on a base of musk, peach and precious wood.

Appearance
The Made of Starlight fragrance was presented in a charming music box, with a bottle design closely mirroring the original Taylor by Taylor Swift from 2013. The top of the flacon, however, featured a white base adorned with delicate pink swirls, replacing the pearls found on the previous edition. A matching line of the same swirling pattern wrapped around the cap, creating a cohesive, whimsical design. Once removed from its pink box, the packaging revealed a beautiful keepsake box that could double as a jewelry holder. In addition to the standard perfume bottle, Made of Starlight was also offered as a rollerball, allowing fans to carry Taylor’s signature scent conveniently wherever they went.
