Launched in 2014, California Réverie by Van Cleef & Arpels captures the essence of a sun-drenched Californian moment through its blend of citrus and tropical florals. Perfumer Antoine Maisondieu crafts this scent around the freshness of neroli and mandarin orange, which give way to the lushness of jasmine sambac and frangipani. The heart is enriched with beeswax, adding a subtle honeyed warmth that lingers in the base alongside vanilla.

How It Wears
Application Tips
One or two sprays are sufficient — the mandarin orange and neroli notes are bright but short-lived. The beeswax and vanilla base notes emerge over time, so this fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
