What wearers say
“Very unisex citrusy and sunscreeny scent. Lasts long for a summer and does get compliments. The opening is amazing and the dry down is noce if you like the sunscreeny type of scents. Not worth it at all in my opinion. Get a dupe. Or skip this entirely. It’s nice but nothing super special that’s worth 300+.”
“Not blind buy safe. I really loved the opening which was citrusy but I hated the dry down. The dry down is just too floral, like heavy floral. If the citrus lasted longer more than 30 minutes, then maybe I would have loved it. I didn’t smell any powdery notes or sandalwood. I think it’s way overpriced for what it smells like.”
“Man I love everything about this fragrance. I tend to like fresh, summery fragrances, and this one definitely fits that profile. The citrus opening is so nice, followed by my favorite musk I've ever encountered. The only con is that it doesn't project or last long unless you spray a lot. I think it's overpriced for how long it lasts, but still one of my favorites.”

The clone may omit or underemphasize Blood Mandarin, potentially resulting in a slightly sharper citrus profile. Longevity and projection are typically softer in Bujairami's formulation compared to Louis Vuitton's premium concentration.

Sillage
The clone performs adequately in the top and heart notes but falls short in depth and staying power, lasting approximately 4-5 hours compared to the original's 7-8 hour wear time. The base accords lack the richness and complexity of the designer version, resulting in a thinner overall composition.

Sillage
The main distinction lies in longevity and sillage—City of Stars maintains stronger projection for 6+ hours while Shining City fades more gradually after the 4-hour mark. The base notes in the clone feel slightly more linear and less nuanced than the original's sophisticated cedar-vetiver interplay.

The clone's basenotes are warmer and more amber-forward, lacking the original's refined vetiver elegance and subtle musk. Longevity and sillage are moderately diminished compared to the designer version.

Sillage
The clone performs adequately on scent accuracy but lacks the depth and lasting power of the original, particularly in the base where musk and vetiver don't linger as long. Sillage is noticeably softer, making this better suited for personal wear rather than statement-making projection.
