A sunny, citrus-driven Eau de Parfum with sweet mandarin, embraced by warm ambrette and softened with vanilla-tinged benzoin—an ode to sunsets and long summer evenings
Crafted by Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, California Dream captures the perfect day’s end. It opens with a vibrant, passionate mandarin note, mellowed by warm ambrette. As the fragrance settles, a gentle benzoin base, tinted with vanilla, wraps the scent in a comforting, affectionate balm—evoking the essence of a breezy, sunlit night. Bottles are refillable at select Louis Vuitton boutiques via their perfume fountain service
