I love this one! Sweet juicy pear and mandarin. The pear really sold it for me. It didn’t really hit a brick wall or change a lot for me like it did to your nose. It stayed pretty fresh and sweet for most of its life. I did get the metallic nuances and it dried down to a sweet musk with benzoin. It lasted a little over 5 hours with pretty good projection for about 2.5 hours. Going to get a bottle before summer comes!
I like California dream, I like the presentation and the smell isn’t overwhelming. my perfumes are usually jo malone or atelier cologne , so very mild but this has just the right amount of subtle but distinct. Fortunately I just dropped into the Louis Vuitton at Bloomingdales and grabbed it
I just got California Dream yesterday - since it's unisex (I'm a guy) and thank goodness I tried the sample first. It smells really great, but my issue is with the projection and the longevity. I love the initial burst of mandarin, but it kinda wears off a little too quickly (at least on me). I am going to return it for Afternoon Swim. I should have gone with my instinct, that's really the only summer scent they have that I LOVE, but I ordered California Dream since there is a lot of hype around it. Everyone's skin is different - it might work on ya'll but for me, I feel like I have to literally get near my arms to smell it, whereas, Afternoon Swim, I can smell it on myself all day.
Totally agree with it. After spraying this fragrance I feel there are razors in my nose. After 1 hour it get’s better, but only slightly better. A shame, also expected more. The only 10/10 of this fragrance is the bottle...
This reminds me of 3 fragrances: Creed Jardín D’ Amalfi, Le Labo Another 13 and Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt. I smell CD first, then I rotate sniffing the bottles of the other 3. I love this one but I can’t find a reason to purchase it because I own the other 3 fragrances. You have taught me quite a bit in your videos. I love your teaching and appreciate you sharing your knowledge. 😊
I just bought it at the boutique and I think it’s a good fragrance. Maybe it depends on skin tone. A must try before you buy since it looks like everyone has mix feelings. Afternoon swim was overpowering for me and got tired of that one quick.
Hey Sebastian, I totally got the dual nature of this fragrance and I sort of imagined “what would a sunset smell like?” In that context, the bright to dark makes a ton of sense. I personally loved the warm ambery, musky dry down. Fragrances like this that take a dramatic turn people frequently like either the opening or the base and are disappointed they can’t get a linear version of their preferred part. I’ve really liked all of the LV fragrances. My favorites are Ombre Nomade, Orage, Cactus Garden.
I tried this one and loved it. Didn’t get the sharpening experience you had, it just stays the mandarin and sweety smell on me, but ill wear it again and just be checking how it turns out after some hours
Can I just say fragrance like comedy is purely subjective. I know people who love the smell of Marijuana, I can't stand it! Some people love Adam Sandler, I think his comedy is stupid and crude. So I'm going to try this first before I decide.
I tested it, I do like it, definately strong opening but I agree that it changes into a more sweet/musky smell (very pleasant). Wish the opening mandarin lasted more. Overall I like it. Definately these LV are becoming signature to your chanel, have not see any others look into them and they are pretty good!
I only have Matiere Noire, a beautiful oriental fragrance,the best from LV in my opinion. I'm sure you would love it! And i definitely have to try Nuit de Feu when it will be released!
Best to worst California themed LV fragrances are: 1. Cactus Garden 2. Afternoon Swim 3. Sun Song 4. California Dream. (Oddly enough it felt like I was wearing cotton candy. Yuck).
I really love Afternoon Swim. How do you go about getting rid of a fragrance you’re not a fan of? I blind bought Hermès Eau D’Orange Verte and it is a little too green for me.
I wish I had watched your video before I blind bought this one. Since I own the other three I was like: I’m definitely getting this one. Oh man, I know now what “regret” smells like. It’s too sharp and too musky. It hurts my nose.
Hi Sebastian. Hope you're well! Just a quick question for you. You mention the LV bottles are refillable. Does the atomizer unscrew easily or does it require some special tool that only the stores have?
I'm sorry the fragrance didn't wear well on your skin. I love the notes so I'd definitely like to try it. I've not tried any of the other LV scents but you've got me interested in trying them. I live in PA.
I've had the same experience with Divin' enfant by État libre d'Orange. The start and dry down complety different from a spicy tobacco to a sugary marsmallow. Freaking weird! Nice review. 😊
Ah how disappointing... does it go less metallic on other people or is that olfactory accidentally on purpose? Sad, I really like the ombré sunset pink of the bottle.
I was watching this video while eating lunch, and my husband walked by hearing your intro and was like, Oh Sebastian hates it. Lol. He doesn't even like fragrances but now knows your tone of voice....!
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews makes sense 😂😂 really look up to you and your reviews. I have learnt a lot from your videos and have tried to use your knowledge to influence my own videos. Thank you!

I must say the LV bottles look soooo pretty and exquisite
And they spray so so so good!! :)

Love your style Sebastian, always go with 100+ml. You will never catch this man with a 50ml. Go big, or go home.

Smell similar to chanel blue, but it alot smoother with no smoky and woody, but the vipe is really like chanel, i do pick up grapefruit in here

which cologne do you recommend with that razors in your nose feels, for the summer

Tried this, afternoon swim, sun song and cactus - all pretty good
I just bought this fragrance... it's really good 👍

Reminded me of mugler cologne with better performance which I like but mugler is a 35$ fragrance

I'm enoying this very much. Especially after a couple of hours. The change in smell is great.
Can I just say fragrance like comedy is purely subjective. I know people who love the smell of Marijuana, I can't stand it! Some people love Adam Sandler, I think his comedy is stupid and crude. So I'm going to try this first before I decide.
I'm only familiar with ombre nomade but haven't tried anything else from louis vuitton, so it's great to learn more about this offering :)
beat me again :(
He beat me to it as well!! 😂
@@OksanaItkes age catching up with you; )
(Running already) 😂
@@UnknownChap lucky for me you like old ladies :P
@@OksanaItkes you're not lady 😂
I'd love to see you review Meteore if you could. I definitely respect your reviews more than anyone. You've taught me a lot.
Cactus Garden my fave in this line. I can't wait to get my hands on Nuit de Feu, America is tardy for the party.
This fragrance is awesome and not overwhelming it’s amazing

Best is sung song hands down
I only have Matiere Noire, a beautiful oriental fragrance,the best from LV in my opinion. I'm sure you would love it! And i definitely have to try Nuit de Feu when it will be released!
Thanks for the honest review!
Maybe the "Dream" part is the fact that the good part vanishes quickly o.0
Originally, I thought this was too musky, but I actually really like it now. It's unique. I had to come back to say that lol.
The price high as niche, I like their concepts but projection and performance like ughhhh . If you like unique scents just get one for collection
Best to worst California themed LV fragrances are:
1. Cactus Garden
2. Afternoon Swim
3. Sun Song
4. California Dream. (Oddly enough it felt like I was wearing cotton candy. Yuck).
Nuit De Feu is out now in Australia now! It is beautiful, yet pretty weak.
I tested California Dream, and it was okay, but not for me.
Dont know the cut off or quick change are you talking about, at least on my skin, it slowly change but still keep the first note character
Finally a review without the classic, wow it's amazing 👏
@Slengt Gasspropan , I know that and it makes sense, but sometimes, just sometimes, it's a good thing to say this doesn't worth it
Review les sables roses been waiting for that one from you. Please! Have a great day!
It reminds me of ombré nomade but more of a powder smell on the opening
I really love Afternoon Swim. How do you go about getting rid of a fragrance you’re not a fan of? I blind bought Hermès Eau D’Orange Verte and it is a little too green for me.
Join fragrance group on FB.
For me,not worth the money....much better fragrances elsewhere. Thanks for review

Ha, that’s it. Does hurt the nose!!
Nice Review Sebastian thanks for this video
Fragrances will sit and settle differently on everyone drawing out different notes, all based on hormones.. hormonal chemistry of the individual.
Hi Sebastian. Hope you're well! Just a quick question for you. You mention the LV bottles are refillable. Does the atomizer unscrew easily or does it require some special tool that only the stores have?
I'm sorry the fragrance didn't wear well on your skin. I love the notes so I'd definitely like to try it. I've not tried any of the other LV scents but you've got me interested in trying them. I live in PA.
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed day
Awesome video, always felt i need to try this house
I will check out your ambrete video
Nice Review❤
sounds like a disappointing-immagobacktowisconsinnow-hollywood dream
I see the price tag is aimed at the residents of Malibu.
Too right pal. Rog. Pacific sunset records
Can you please try the new Mugler Angel Nova, once it gets released into the United States? I live in Fresno, California, and I'm dying to try it.
Price went up too!
Refill juice is not as good as buying a bottle. Have heard it a few times.
Not experienced myself.
Have you tried their Heures de absence?
Lol did you just blind buy the biggest bottle of an expensive fragrance? 😮
Balls on that guy!
What’s a cheaper dupe for it?
cool video,it definetly sounds underwhelming and dissapointing.i have not try any of these,waiting for the comparison video
Please do top aldehydic fragrances please!
Does anyone know how you can get your hands on their samples question why
Call the 866 Louis Vuitton number
I've had the same experience with Divin' enfant by État libre d'Orange. The start and dry down complety different from a spicy tobacco to a sugary marsmallow. Freaking weird! Nice review. 😊
Could you do a review of Cuirs by Carner Barcelona?
I'm going to try and dig into this house more soon! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy That's a great news thanks and good
I haven't tried a single thing from this line, they just aren't available here.
Same
People in the fragrance groups on Facebook have decants availible
Where

Top 5 darkest fragrances?
How do you afford all of these fragrances?!?
Trust fund!!

Too many mandarin orange, too sweet 🍊
Sun Song is better 🌞🍋
On my skin it only lasted 3 hours🙃
Aren't you glad you paid the extra $60 and just got the beautiful Tygar? 😎😎
Smls like dolce gabanna king
You mean to tell me they're charging $100 for the bottle
I have this perfume and I didn’t like it either. It smelt cheap and reminds me way too much of an orange cordial drink 😂😂😂
the price must be 'good' too?😆😆😆
I smell no orange on me at all.no fruit to me. Also smells like commodity s milk
That’s why this hobby is so subjective!! 😀
Agree. I didnt like it at all
What a disappointment 😩
When i think of this perfume i think of Tupac.
Isn't this a woman's perfume?
Unisex
You mean plandemonic😈
This is a msterpiece
