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 - California Dream EDP
A bright citrus-musk dupe of Louis Vuitton California Dream. The mandarin-pear opening is fresh and faithful; the ambrette-benzoin drydown is thinner than LV's polished original.
