What does California Breeze smell like?

Bergamot and orange open with a sparkling citrus note. Mint and lavender in the heart keep that freshness going, while cedarwood, patchouli, vanilla and amber settle into a woody, creamy sweetness. The fresh and floral side is balanced by gourmand and spicy touches.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though with few votes the picture is tentative. It reads comfortably on both men and women. Câline Infinite Navy and Lattafa Pride Ansaam Silver have a close profile.
