City of Stars is the ode to Los Angeles by night that Jacques Cavallier Belletrud composed for Louis Vuitton in 2022, a genderless fragrance dressed by the artist Alex Israel. Blood orange, lemon, red mandarin, bergamot and lime open onto a tiare accord, over a base of sandalwood and powdery musk.
Amanda Ross, on The Zoe Report, sees it as the possible crown jewel of the collection; Wanted and Viora London praise a fresh, lively citrus opening.
What critics say
The Zoe Report, April 2022
Amanda Ross hails a summer-perfect tribute to Los Angeles and sees City of Stars as the possible crown jewel of the whole collection. She finds it enveloping and eclectic, and considers Alex Israel’s accessories true works of art.
Wanted, June 2022
Nokubonga Thusi reads in it a play of light and shadow, and a dream for lovers of citrus. The opening gives her a burst of freshness, before the floral and woody accord of tiare and sandalwood.
Viora London, June 2023
Ingrid Radford describes a fruity floral with powdery, musky nuances and a zesty, refreshing opening. She recommends it for daytime, in spring and summer, and observes that it radiates strongly at first before retreating into a discreet chorus.
