The California collection is mostly about daylight. City of Stars is the one that waits until the sun has gone down. The citrus is still there but it has warmed and softened, and underneath it there is a vanilla and musk base that gives the fragrance a glow rather than a sparkle. It is the collection at its most indulgent.
Why you will love this warm citrus perfume
This is what happens when you take a bright cologne and let it get comfortable. The top still has lift, so it never feels heavy, but the base is warm and softly sweet in a way that makes it work for evenings and cooler weather, where the rest of the California line runs out of road.
- Warm evening citrus rather than a bright daytime one
- Vanilla and musk base gives it glow and staying power
- The one California fragrance that works after dark
- Seven to nine hours on skin with a soft, warm trail
- Easy to wear across seasons, unlike the rest of the collection
- Refillable bottle
- Composed by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud in Grasse
The scent
The opening is citrus but already rounded, more peel-in-the-hand than juice-in-the-glass. Within the hour a soft vanilla begins to show underneath, warm rather than sugary. Musk builds through the base and holds everything close. It finishes glowing, faintly sweet and comfortable, sitting just off the skin.
Who it is for
Anyone who likes the California fragrances but wants one for the evening. It suits dinners, nights out, cooler weather and anyone who finds pure colognes too sharp. Fully unisex and one of the easier fragrances in the range to wear without thinking about it.
How to use it
Three sprays on the neck, chest and wrists. The vanilla and musk base means it holds far better than the daytime colognes, so you will not need to reapply. Apply to moisturised skin for the fullest effect.
