Golden Hour
City of Stars and Golden Hour share a citrusy-powdery-floral core, but diverge in execution. City of Stars leans into a sophisticated 'sunscreen' feel with its powdery florals, making it a unique, albeit divisive, summer scent. Golden Hour, a more recent release, doubles down on the citrus, becoming a potent, potentially overwhelming experience. The key difference lies in subtlety versus intensity. If you want a more refined, beachy vibe, go with City of Stars. If you want a bold citrus statement, Golden Hour is your pick.
