LV City of Stars

City of Stars is Louis Vuitton's citrus-floral celebration of Los Angeles by night, launched in April 2022 and created by Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud — described by the house as a "festive ode to Los Angeles by night, its excitement and extravagance, from star-studded boulevards to the constellations shimmering above the skyline." It's available as an Eau de Parfum and part of the brand's West Coast-inspired collection alongside Afternoon Swim, California Dream, and On The Beach.

The opening dazzles with a citrus quintet — lemon, blood orange, red mandarin, bergamot, and lime — that arrives bright and immediately uplifting, with lime and blood orange particularly standing out alongside bergamot. The heart unfolds into tiare flower's voluptuous embrace, bringing a creamy tropical warmth that evokes skin kissed by evening sun. There's something sunscreen-like about it, but in the best possible way — like expensive SPF on warm skin at a five-star resort.

The base brings powdery notes, musk, and sandalwood — soft, musky, and warm with a gentle woodiness that becomes a clean skin scent with just a whisper of citrus remaining. Expect 5-6 hours on skin with moderate projection for the first 2 hours before it becomes a skin scent, extending to 7-8 hours on clothes.

Community comparisons land most often on Creed's Virgin Island Water, though City of Stars leans more feminine with greater projection. While officially positioned as unisex, many reviewers note it leans slightly feminine due to the tiare flower — making a decant the smartest way to discover if this radiant, luxurious citrus-floral fits your warm-weather rotation before committing to Louis Vuitton pricing.
