Entering the value of the city field in an email

I am unable to extract the city field in the email sending.
For example, {email} correctly returns the correct email address and even custom fields work well using {profile_N}.
However, for the city I have not found an adequate placeholder. I noticed that in the database the field is called 'city' and so I tried using the placeholder {city}, but it does not return the name of the city, it simply writes "{city}".
