City of Angels
Five citruses over creamy tiaré and sun-bleached sandalwood — our Extrait de Parfum alternative to LV City of Stars, hand-poured in England.
A fragrance that bottles the magic of Los Angeles, from a sunlit take-off to a warm, lingering sunset. City of Angels opens with an electric chorus of five distinct citruses — Italian bergamot, blood orange, blood mandarin, key lime and zesty lemon — crackling like a thousand paparazzi flashes against a cloud-free sky.
That burst of energy gives way to a coastal glide, where a single creamy tiaré blossom drifts in and smooths the sharp edges the way dusk softens a city's silhouette. It ends on a sandalwood sunset: feather-light powdery musk and sun-bleached Australian sandalwood, leaving a clean warm haze that clings to a linen shirt long past curfew.

What makes it different
-
✓
Five citruses, not one
Most citrus fragrances lean on lemon or bergamot alone. Layering five — each with a different brightness and bite — is what gives the opening its depth rather than a flat lemon-sweet hit.
-
✓
Extrait concentration on a fragile profile
Citrus notes are the first to evaporate from any fragrance. Building this as an Extrait is what gives that opening a chance to stay luminous rather than vanish within the hour. Longevity varies by skin type.
-
✓
A single floral, used with restraint
One creamy tiaré blossom rounds the sharp edges without turning the whole thing floral. It adds polish without stealing the spotlight.

What does Louis Vuitton City of Stars smell like?
It's a bright citrus-aromatic scent with a soft floral heart and a warm, powdery woody base. City of Angels is built around the same idea — a layered citrus opening, a single creamy tiaré note, and sun-bleached sandalwood with powdery musk underneath.
How close is City of Angels to the original?
It's built around the same core accord. Customers who own both generally describe it as very close rather than indistinguishable, which is an honest description of any well-made inspired fragrance. Reviews are published below, including the critical ones.
How long does it last?
Citrus fragrances are the hardest category to make last, which is why this is built as an Extrait rather than a lighter concentration. Most customers find the bright opening holds well into the day, but longevity genuinely varies with skin type and temperature.
Is it a summer fragrance only?
It's at its best in warm weather — citrus reads as refreshing in heat and can feel thin in cold. That said, the sandalwood and musk base gives it more staying power in cooler months than a pure citrus cologne would have.
Which size should I start with?
If you haven't tried this scent profile, start with the 10ml travel spray. Bright citrus scents tend to get used quickly once you like them, so regular wearers often move to the 50ml or 100ml.
