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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - California Parfum
California reproduces the mandarin-orange-blossom-musk simplicity of Louis Vuitton's California Dream fairly well, since the original is itself a minimalist scent, but the musk trail thins out faster and the whole thing feels slightly less polished.
