Eden Perfumes No.688 California Dream is a Parfum. No.688 California Dream opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pear, settles into a heart of Musk and Ambrette, and dries down to a base of Benzoin and Moss. Eden Perfumes's No.688 California Dream carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

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.

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.
