The review
American Dream scores 7.6 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing California Dream.
Chez Pierre sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is California Dream's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $78 per 100ml it costs 87% less than California Dream — the 3rd cheapest of 6 twins we can price.
The match is claimed by more than one source, which is as firm as a pairing gets.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Chez Pierre publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Louis Vuitton California Dream is mandarin orange at first, pear at its heart and musk, ambrette and benzoin at the end. Chez Pierre set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- mandarin orange
Heart
- pear
Base
- musk
- ambrette
- benzoin
Mandarin and pear dissolving into ambrette musk, hazy and soft-focus, light through a car window.
