Each pick includes the important differences, tradeoffs and our bottom-line verdict.
City of Dua brings lime and orange brightness into a soft tiare heart, with musk and sandalwood underneath. The citrus-sweet character holds on as it settles, giving it a fuller feel than City of Stars. Wear time: 8–9 hours.
The first pick for the familiar citrus and tiare pairing, with a sweeter, more forward finish.
The opening can feel bolder, and the drydown keeps more sweetness and citrus. City of Stars becomes subtler and more powdery. The flowers and musk can also stand out more strongly on some skin.
Star Dust opens with sweet, lemony citrus before the flowers and musk become clearer. The closer City of Stars connection comes after that first burst, when the scent feels softer and more blended. Observed wear: around 3 hours.
A close option for the soft floral-musk side of City of Stars, with a sweeter lemony start.
The opening can have a lemon-candy edge rather than City of Stars’ more rounded citrus blend. Flowers and musk become more prominent as it dries. Wear varies, and it can fade quite quickly on some skin.
We weigh the opening, heart and drydown at 30%, 40% and 30%. Direct comparisons with City of Stars, scent development and differing wearing experiences shape these editorial resemblance estimates.
City of Dua has a wear range of 8–9 hours. Star Dust’s around 3 hours reflects an observed wearing. It can fade faster on some skin.
Start with City of Dua for the closest overall City of Stars connection here. Its citrus and tiare keep the familiar shape, though the sweetness stays more noticeable.

Its wear range is 8–9 hours.
Around 3 hours in an observed wearing. It can fade faster on some skin.
It follows that citrus, tiare and musky-wood direction. Its opening can feel more like lemon candy, with a closer connection as it settles.
City of Dua keeps more sweetness and citrus through the drydown. Star Dust can also open sweetly, especially in its lemony first few minutes.
It has a soft musky base, but it can retain more of its opening character while City of Stars turns subtler and more powdery.
Citrus makes the first impression, but the tiare flower is central to its character. Expect a soft floral side rather than a simple orange-and-lemon splash.
