The review
On paper, Cali Life is a reasonable bet if you want California Dream for less.
The Dua Brand 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.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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
The original opens on mandarin orange, turns to pear, and settles into musk, ambrette and benzoin. That is the brief Cali Life is working from.
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.
