What does California Snow smell like?
It opens with sweetgrass, black sage, chamomile and tea, giving a cool, grassy first impression. The heart brings jonquil, cannabis, hay and rosebud, where the floral side softens. The base of vetiver, cedar, soil and musk dries down powdery and earthy.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Votes for feminine and masculine sit close together, so it reads as in between. L'Aventura Tumble in the Grass and Gucci Mémoire d'une Odeur have a close profile.
