About

No.688 opens with a vibrant splash of mandarin and pear over bergamot, immediately fresh and citrus-forward. The heart softens into ambrette seed and musk, giving a smooth, slightly warm quality that keeps the fragrance from feeling one-dimensionally sharp. A gentle base of benzoin and moss adds just enough resinous warmth to round things off without weighing the composition down. It's a genuinely uplifting, unisex daytime scent, ideal for warmer months, casual wear, or anywhere you want that sun-drenched, easy-breezy citrus mood. Where the Louis Vuitton original is prized for its polished, long-lasting finish from Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, this vegan alternative fades faster and sits closer to skin, but the mandarin-pear-musk identity that defines California Dream comes through clearly, making it a solid, affordable way to try the vibe.
