California Reverie
Van Cleef & Arpels California Reverie is an eau de parfum with a bright white floral character. It opens on citrus and sweetly floral notes before settling into a softer, honeyed warmth. Neroli and mandarin give the first impression a clean, sunlit sparkle, while a rich floral heart built on jasmine and frangipani adds a creamy, sensual depth. A gentle vanilla base rounds the composition, and tropical, fresh and fruity facets with a subtle beeswax quality keep the scent smooth rather than sugary.
The fragrance is intended for women and suits a range of settings. Its lightness makes it comfortable for professional days and relaxed casual outings, while its floral richness carries well into an evening out. Because it works across all four seasons, the citrus lift feels especially natural in warmer months, and the vanilla warmth offers comfort as temperatures drop.
In wear, California Reverie sits at a moderate level, staying close enough to the wearer to be discreet while still carrying through a room. It tends to last through a typical day. Produced in France, it is presented as an eau de parfum in a 75ml bottle.
