Memoirs Of A Perfume Collector California Love is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by David Chieze. California Love opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Passionfruit, settles into a heart of Blackcurrant and Mint, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oakmoss, and Ambroxan. Memoirs Of A Perfume Collector's California Love carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A divisive summer spritz that walks the line between zesty fruit cocktail and something slightly more, shall we say, 'lived in'. Expect a sherbet-like citrus burst that mellows into a musky, tropical affair, but be warned, some might find a hint of body odour by the dry down.

About

California Love opens with a blast of zesty passionfruit, bergamot, and orange, akin to a supercharged fruity mojito with a squeeze of lemon. The heart introduces a cool, minty freshness paired with blackcurrant, adding a tart, juicy depth. As it settles, a clean yet subtly musky ambroxan and oakmoss base emerges, leaving a tropical, slightly green trail that some find smooth and creamy, while others detect a peculiar funk.
