What does Californie smell like?
The top is bright with Calabrian bergamot, papaya, spearmint and apple, while sea breeze adds an aquatic coolness to that fruity opening. In the heart, freesia, jasmine and white rose bring a soft floral note. The base rests on ambergris, musk and cedarwood for a woody footing, with peach and raspberry leaving a sweet trace. Versace Dylan Turquoise and Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue have a close profile.
