No.688 California Dream Parfum
Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - California Dream EDP
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.

Our Verdict - No.688 California Dream Parfum
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.

Its fresh, clean, and understated profile makes it a good fit for casual and sport settings, thriving in warmer weather. While wearable for a date, its limited longevity and projection, coupled with its casual vibe, make it less ideal for formal events or a demanding office environment.
