by Louis Vuitton
City of Stars by Louis Vuitton delivers a bright, tropical citrus opening dominated by blood mandarin, lime, and bergamot, creating a juicy, effervescent burst reminiscent of Virgin Island Water and Soleil Blanc. The heart features a soft, creamy tiare flower note that gives a touch of indolic white floral, evoking a sun-kissed beachside ambiance without being overly sweet or coconut-heavy. The dry-down settles into a lightly musky, powdery base with sandalwood, giving it a faintly luxe, laundry-like freshness—somewhere between a freshly washed sheet and tropical sunscreen. Performance is moderate with an intimate projection, lasting several hours but not carrying far unless over-sprayed. The scent is most unisex in feel but leans slightly feminine due to its powdery, creamy textures, and many users find it nearly as ephemeral as a soft air freshener. That said, some perceive it as alive and balancing, offering a wearable, uplifting summer experience when it works well on the skin. It performs best in warm weather, especially spring and summer, and works well for daytime events, particularly on warm days or vacations. The fragrance is praised for its fresh, elegant air on skin and its high versatility despite its signature powdery-creamy profile.
