California Réverie, from the French house Van Cleef & Arpels, is a feminine floral composed by Antoine Maisondieu and released in 2014. Flowers lead, with sweet and citrus sides each about a third as strong.

Mandarin and neroli give a bright, sunny, gently honeyed opening. The heart is a warm, solar white-floral pairing: frangipani creamy, apricot-tinged and tropical, and jasmine sambac rich and slightly fruity. The base is soft and golden, with vanilla giving a creamy sweetness and beeswax a warm, honeyed, slightly waxy smoothness that recalls sun-warmed skin.

Wearers are split between weak and moderate longevity, and opinions on projection are split between moderate and intimate. It is voted mainly for summer and spring and worn overwhelmingly by day. That suggests a soft, sunny scent for holidays, warm afternoons and relaxed daytime wear, for someone who likes light, solar white florals with a golden beeswax-vanilla finish, gentle and close rather than bold, a scent to enjoy for oneself.
