Étoile Filante

I've only tried Etoile Filante a few times at the Louis Vuitton store, but I think it's going to be my next bottle purchase from there. I just went back yesterday, and bought a bottle of Imagination, and while I was there, I sprayed Etoile Filante on one of the cards and on myself. I can't stop smelling the card this morning. I can't describe it, but this fragrance really agrees with my nose. I pretty much love every other LV fragrance I've tried so far, so this isn't a surprise. This is definitely a feminine leaning fragrance, but I would definitely wear it myself. I don't know if I would use it by itself, but I almost always layer fragrances anyway. I could definitely see myself layering Etoile Filante with Ombre Nomade or even LOVERS or Imagination or Nuit de Feu. I will definitely try those combinations, if I do buy a bottle of Etoile Filante. It has a nice, fresh, fruity scent that reminds me of Attrape-Reves, but the floral notes are different and so are the fruity notes. I thought this kinda smells like peach, but that could just by my misinterpreting the combination of scents.

And finally, after a long experience with the samples of Etoile Filante perfume 🍓🍓 ☀️ It was chosen to be the first perfume from LV within my perfume collection 🤍✨ I can't describe the beauty of the smell, beautiful in a bright and happy way, its smell makes you happy, subconsciously, pink soap, fruity, watery, soft, a beautiful perfume with every transformation for him, and what I love with perfume is the skin in a professional skin note, water in the background, not normal, so I couldn't resist 🍓☀️ With Etoile Filante, the fragrance is fruity flowers that revolve around the osmanthus, showing all its best origins with an abundance of peach along with glimpses of iris, suedeede, and even a light earthy touch with an artichoke atmosphere. And also the green tea side of the osmanthus, which offers a delicate and ethereal tangible paper characteristic, sits in harmony with super clean jasmine and innocent soap that never hinders the road, certainly in the back seat. Inside these corners of smell, it's airy and sunny ✨✨🍓

I love this perfume. Upon initial spray, I am greeted with a blast of citrus. It then almost immediately melts into this beautiful, creamy, strawberry, drizzled with condensed milk that is served on a silver platter surrounded by fresh, white florals. I’m obsessed with this because it’s fresh and soapy, but creamy at the same time which are 2 things I love individually in a scent. This reminds me of a plain bar of soap, like the original dove or the original Nivea. It almost has the same feel as montblanc signature to me. Perfect for someone who is not into heavy hitters and just wants a delicate and put together feel. Easy to grab for and easy to love. Thankfully the strawberry is not synthetic at all. Everything is so well blended, this scent truly comes together beautifully.

I agree with @jytong. I finally got a whiff of this in-store yesterday and wow totally nostalgic. Smells like Gap Dream from the 90s which I adored. I still love this scent profile. It’s fresh and clean and reminds me of a rain shower on a warm summer day. If Gap Dream hasn’t been discontinued I will try to track down a bottle and keep it pushing. However, if it’s long gone then I’m going to add Etoile Filante to my wish list. Edit: I purchased a bottle of Etoile Filante a few months after my post in 2022. It’s now 2025 and I’m still in love with this fragrance. It’s also quite long lasting on my clothes.

omg had never smelled this and was in LV today and tried it and immediately I was like GAP DREAM gone luxe. I said it to the woman in the store too - my guess is LV employees don't hear GAP comparisons too often... It was a total throw back -- makes me so happy to see it's the top thing it's compared to here - yes yes yes, co-sign. If I were guessing notes I'd guess tangerine x freesia x white musk x ginger. Citrus, musky, dewy floral, aquatic, slightly piquant. TBC, it does not smell cheap -- it just smells incredibly nostalgic.

I almost didn't try this because of the strawberry as I thought it might smell quite sweet and cheap. But it's definitely more of a green strawberry which is very nice. I personally love this as I'm obsessed with clean fragrances and this is my favorite one. It's definitely fresh--not a heavy floral--and sticks on your clothes so it last longer than the average clean/fresh/light floral fragrance. But if you're looking for something more complex, probably not for you.

It smells expensive and it is long lasting is amazing makes you feel sexy and clean matches my body chemistry to the perfection stays on a long time you can smell it next day on your skin ,bed and clothes but not in an annoying way,is intense in a gentle way! Guys get crazy they stop you and ask you omg what do you have on? Why do you so smell so good ?! Like lot of guys in the same space!

Bad news for anyone who's a fan of Louis Vuitton Etoile Filante. I visited the store today, and the nice associate told me that they are discontinuing Etoile Filante. I really like it, but I'm not sure if I want to buy a bottle. If you've been thinking about buying it, you'll want to do that while you still can.

I...whew....this is my absolute favorite Louis Vuitton fragrance - hands down!!!! It smells like joy in a bottle!!! Every time I wear it my husband always says "You smell so good. You smell clean but sweet!" I rarely regret things, I regret not buying this in the 200ml, I love this scent that much!

Well, I'll be danged. It really does smell just like GAP Dream! Bang on! Certainly in the opening, anyway. Shame about the price difference, but on the other hand, this dries down much more smoothly and lasts longer. What a terribly expensive, delicious, nostalgic discovery...

This fragrance happens to be my favorite from LV. I think this is the most unique and interesting of the women’s line. Unfortunately I have heard that they might be discontinuing this masterpiece. If you love this I would get a bottle asap.

It's a beautiful fresh floral. Don't smell any strawberry, more like a very nice citrus smell at first. Dry down into an amazing floral scent. 10/10

This smells like crisp, fresh laundry (detergent). The musk is very well done and addictive. Unfortunately I can’t detect much of the strawberry note, it is not a juicy fruity type of scent at all. Magnolia, osmanthus and musk are most prominent to me, it’s a pleasant very clean scent, perfect for everyday wear with jeans and a white t-shirt. Not what I expected but I keep smelling my wrists. Performance is decent. I can’t get this scent out of my head. It smells clean and expensive. I will be getting a bottle. Edit: Got it!

Tested it and was surprised and not at all what I was expecting by the notes. I was expecting fruity floral, but got something that’s suede like musk magnolia floral slightly powdery blend. I cant smell any strawberry if there is one it’s more rubbery to me than fresh or juicy strawberry. The leathery/suede accord is pretty dominant and I didn’t like that at all since I don’t do well with those sort of notes. Unfortunately it was a pass for me.

So I was searching for a scent that was similar to Gaps Dream scent and found and bought this nugget EF it is reminiscent if a GAP scent and it does , but unfortunately it is the Gaps scent Grass that this is most similar too nit Dream. Still a nice smell and wonderful compliments from people .

to me, this smells like strawberry champagne, very fresh and innocent with a slight hint of mischief lol

This is beautiful but not on my unfortunate skin ☹️ Fruity (but not sweet) and floral (but not overwhelmingly so) but on me, it smells like cheap laundry soap as if I’d rolled around in laundry powder 😖 Longevity is decent, probably 5-6 hours? Lovely bottle and I snatched the last one at my Louis Vuitton store but honestly, it’s just meh...on me. I will keep it because I have a weird thing for discontinued fragrances 🙄 (I know, I am super weird) and I will continue using it because it was expensive (as all Louis Vuitton are) but it’s not my favorite from the house... If this is indeed getting discontinued and you love it, I’d definitely run to get what’s left for sale...

I had such high hopes for this one. Beautiful bottle design. Promising notes. But I was sooo underwhelmed. I mean its not that bad. It’s just not as pleasant smelling as I had hoped. The initial spray brings on a kind of sweet, opulent, juicy, flower forward opening. Interesting smell. Not off putting. Not unpleasant. Then it starts to develop into a screechy synthetic flower mess, like bathroom spray. This part is really annoying and made me dislike the fragnance. I had to wait for about half an hour for this stage to let loose. Once this goes away, you’re left with something lemony and musky. That’s not bad and not good.

Note to self: With my chemistry, this smells like dead flowers and plastic binders upon first whiff. I don't catch even the faintest note resembling strawberry, which is what piqued my interest in this fragrance. A moment later, something waxy comes through and reminds me of the first time I smelled Strawberry by Malin+Goetz (which I did not like until four hours later, when I finally smelled subtle strawberry). I'm learning that magnolia seems waxy to my nose. I do not detect jasmine either. I agree with the review of it smelling like dishwashing liquid. I wouldn't ordinarily have been interested in a fragrance from LV, since I consider the design house pretty basic (mainly the bags) to begin with, and this just falls flat in a soapy way. mode of testing: from sample sprayed onto wrist and forearm. I like the apothecary look of the bottle, but this is wholly overpriced. Best to sample first; do not blind buy.

I was initially excited to try a sample of this due to the strawberry note, but unfortunately it pulls all magnolia/fresh floral on me. Initial spray on my wrist gave instant sharp citrus and quickly faded into potent magnolia/ floral. I was hoping to get a fruity scent somewhere, but it stayed fully floral the entire time. Granted it is a *fresh* floral scent but there's something that is a little sharp to my nose so I can't wear this personally. I can see where people can get a dish soap vibe, but I wouldn't have minded smelling like that if it was more lemon forward. This is just all florals with a musky dry down. -If you're expecting Strawberry or anything fruity, I'd say avoid this (or at least get a sample before blind buying) -If you love bright fresh florals, then you may enjoy this. -If you love Magnolia, this is definitely for you.
