City of Stars is an ode to the excitement and extravagance of Los Angeles as the sun begins to set. It opens with an intoxicating medley of high quality citrus, most prominently lime and blood orange. A unique note of Tiare is then used which adds that classic white floral touch, with a fruity nuance to it. From here, the citrus stays constant as it begins to settle on a powdery base of musk and sandalwood. The sharpness of the citrus perfectly juxtaposes the creaminess of the sandalwood and expresses brilliantly the shift towards dusk. I find this fragrance leans slightly feminine but is still wearable by both sexes. It’s a very pleasant and high quality citrus, perfect for the summer however the performance is lacking and it’s severely overpriced for what it is.
I’m right in the middle with this scent. It is not bad at all it smells great but I aslo don’t love it. To me it’s Like this, yes it smells good, but I don’t necessarily want to smell like this. It would be a good scent for a candle in your house! Powdery, waxy, a bit of sweetness, and fresh. But not my favorite on skin.
