Van Cleef & Arpels California Réverie is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Antoine Maisondieu. California Réverie opens with Mandarin and Neroli, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Vanilla and Beeswax. Van Cleef & Arpels's California Réverie carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

California Réverie is a dreamy, honeyed white floral that’s mostly a crowd-pleaser, delivering a fresh, elegant jasmine. Lovers rave about its natural scent, but many find the longevity shockingly poor, especially for the price.

Also Works:
Date

Its soft projection and delicate, fresh floral character make it perfect for office or casual wear where you don't want to overwhelm. While lovely for a relaxed date, its poor longevity and minimal sillage mean it struggles for formal occasions. It's too refined for active sport, despite its freshness.

About

Opens with a bright, uplifting burst of neroli and mandarin, quickly leading into a soft, creamy heart of jasmine and tropical frangipani. The white florals feel natural and inviting, rounded out by a subtle base of warm beeswax and a whisper of vanilla, giving it a gentle, sweet finish that's never cloying.
