Launched in 2020, California Dream by Louis Vuitton is a citrus fragrance for both women and men, crafted by the renowned perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. This scent opens with bright citrus and fruity notes that evoke the freshness of the Californian coast. The heart adds a touch of sweetness, balanced by powdery and musky undertones that give it depth. The result is a composition that feels both invigorating and comforting, like a day spent exploring sunlit beaches and winding coastal roads.

Application Tips
One or two sprays are enough to capture its essence. The citrus top notes fade within a couple of hours, but the musky base ensures it lingers longer on the skin.
