No.688 California Dream Parfum

Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive citrus musk; some love its refreshing, clean vibe and unique fruity twist, others find it shockingly basic and overpriced, especially given its iffy performance. It's a sunshine scent for sure, but don't expect it to last.
No.688 is styled after Louis Vuitton's California Dream, a bright mandarin-pear citrus over a soft ambrette-musk heart and gentle benzoin base. It keeps the fresh, easy-going holiday feel of the original, just with a shorter arc on skin.
