فاكهة النجمة Star fruit
Carambola, also known as starfruit, is the fruit of Averrhoa carambola, a species of tree native to the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
The fruit is popular throughout Southeast Asia, the South Pacific and parts of East Asia. The tree is also cultivated throughout non-indigenous tropical areas, such as in Latin America, the Caribbean, and the southern United States.
The fruit has distinctive ridges running down its sides (usually five but can sometimes vary); in cross-section, it resembles a star, hence its name. The entire fruit is edible and is usually eaten out of hand. They may also be used in cooking and can be made into relishes, preserves, and juice drinks.
Some perfumes and colognes with the fruity and sour undertone of Star fruit are Sunset Heat for Men by Escada (star fruit as top note), Strawberry Star fruit Fruttini for Women (the perfume contains notes of sweet, fruity, tropical carambola fruit and enticing strawberry natural extracts), Outspoken by Fergie Avon for women (top notes of the perfume refresh us with frozen black currant, starfruit and wild saffron) and Paul Smith Sunshine Edition for Men 2012 (it is a casual and carefree fragrance of fruity, spicy and woody notes containing star fruit as a middle note), etc
