Our verdict on Clémentine California: Favourite

A truly gorgeous, photo-realistic clementine opener that is universally adored. If only that vibrant top note stuck around, this would be a year-round staple. As it stands, it's a fleeting summer dream, perfect for an instant pick-me-up - just be prepared to reapply often.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its luminous, clean profile and notoriously poor longevity make it perfectly suited for casual wear or the office, where subtlety is key. It's too ephemeral and light for formal events and lacks the depth for a serious date night, but perfect for a quick, refreshing lift before or after sport.

About

Opens with a juicy, bright blast of clementine and mandarin, like freshly peeled fruit with a hint of crisp juniper. As it settles, a fresh, herbaceous blend of star anise and basil emerges, offering a subtle spice. The dry down is a whisper of clean, earthy woods - cypress, vetiver, and a creamy sandalwood - leaving a fresh, slightly green trail.
