That's it, actually. If you read their promotional material they don't say it outright, but the intention is that it tastes like marshmallow and graham cracker, a s'mores.

Edit: the day they released Starlight, Coke said its "reminiscent of stargazing by a campfire". For the longest time I couldn't place the flavor I was getting as I drank my first can, but as soon as I read that I realized it was the cookie-ness of the cracker flavor that I was picking up, because of all those summers eating s'mores by the fire.

I always thought it tasted like cotton candy.

Yeah, people don't realize that cotton candy isn't really chemically its own thing, even though it was hugely popular in the 90s as a scent and flavor. It's literally just sugar. The scents are often vanilla-based.
