Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - City Of Stars EDP
This is a sunny, beachy citrus with a sophisticated, powdery floral backbone. Love or hate the 'sunscreen vibe', it's a divisive but undeniably unique summer scent that captures the essence of a Californian sunset.

Our Verdict - City of Angels EDP
City of Angels is inspired by Louis Vuitton's City of Stars, a five-citrus tiare-and-sandalwood scent. It follows the same bright citrus-to-creamy-floral arc, but is flatter through the tiare heart and fades faster than the original's reported 5-7 hour wear.
