By the editors · 2 min readOrange and bergamot open with a clean, warm citrus — not particularly bright or sharp, but smooth and inviting. The California reference implied by the name aligns with the easy-going opening character.
Mint and lavender enter in the heart, each contributing coolness and herbal character. Mint provides crisp freshness, lavender aromatic warmth — together they create a familiar aromatic-herbal accord.
Amber, vanilla, and patchouli form the base. The amber-vanilla combination creates warmth and sweetness; patchouli grounds with earthy depth. The overall arc from citrus-fresh to warm-oriental is well-covered, if conventional. A pleasant, accessible fragrance that shifts comfortably from day into evening.
