Selected reviews and overall ratings: reading the stars

Identify what the stars cover

Look for a label such as selected reviews or overall rating, then a source link. A selection of two favourable testimonials concerns those two testimonials. It proves neither an average across hundreds of purchases nor a purchase verified by our site.

The product pages for VIP Piège and VIP Moon

VIP Piège presents two selected Amazon excerpts, each rated 5/5, published on 21 and 24 March 2024. These stars describe the attributed excerpts displayed on our site; they do not become the average of all Amazon reviews or all Emmanuelle Jane purchases.

VIP Moon presents a Rakuten excerpt by Martins, published on 9 June 2025 and rated 5/5. The Basenotes testimonials used for other references, including VIP Elixir, have no imported rating. An unrated source therefore remains unrated.

Read the text before counting stars

A review is more useful when it describes a preference or context similar to yours. Distinguish the author’s experience from the official product details. An old comment does not establish the current price, and its perception does not guarantee yours.
