What does Eau de Californie smell like?

Most voters recommend spring and fall, with summer not far behind. Daily wear, leisure and the office are the occasions it is picked for most. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine.

Citrus and fresh accents come through with the bergamot, while patchouli and tree moss add an earthy depth. Palo santo brings a smoky, woody air, and orris butter gives a powdery, creamy softness. There is a spicy, lightly sweet edge too. Dunhill Indian Sandalwood and Celine Nightclubbing have a close profile.
