Louis Vuitton, City Of Stars

City of Stars by Louis Vuitton (Launched 2022) is an olfactory snapshot of Los Angeles at night—when the city transforms into a stage of neon glows, palm silhouettes, and nocturnal dreams. Conceived by Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, this fragrance captures not daylight, but afterlight—that radiant, cinematic shimmer unique to the City of Angels.

It opens with an unexpected burst of citrus—blood orange, juicy and sweet-tart, laced with the tangy clarity of lime and the soft sparkle of bergamot. Unlike traditional daytime citruses, these notes feel almost nocturnal: luminous yet shadowed, like car headlights cutting through the coastal haze.

Beneath the citrus, the floral soul of the fragrance blooms with tiare flower, lending a creamy tropical warmth that evokes skin kissed by evening sun. Jasmine sambac adds a heady depth—opulent, sensual, and just a little wild—like laughter spilling out of an open rooftop bar.

The dry-down is smooth and whispering: sandalwood and musk fold into the skin like velvet, grounding the earlier sparkle with something intimate and calm. There's a quiet confidence in the base—warmth without weight, luxury without excess.

City of Stars is a twilight pulse—for dreamers, lovers, and the bold glow of night. It doesn’t just smell like L.A.—it feels like L.A., caught between stardust and concrete.
