  Although I haven’t tried it on skin (it’s one of my perfumery to-dos, though not urgent), what I perceived in the air when the shop assistant sprayed it pleased me. However, I opted to try another citrus from the same brand on my skin, as this one seemed very sweet to me.

  I love it. A vibrant, relaxing and unisex fragrance. It begins with high-quality semi-sweet citrus, typical of Atelier Cologne. The citrus is followed by a denser heart where basil and star anise stand out, with more body and character. The citrus maintains a just-right sweetness, neither too feminine nor masculine. In the base, I detect cypress and vetiver, giving it a slightly androgynous-herbal twist. Clementine California is magical; it develops differently on a woman’s skin than on a man’s, yet both evoke similar sensations. Moderate performance, though on some skins it’s moderate-to-high. For me, it’s a 9/10. P.S.: I don’t know who thought it was similar to Un Jardin Sur le Nil, but they have nothing to do with each other.

  A perfume marvel. I smell it and like it too much. It’s cheerful, refreshing, delicate, unisex, and the quality is evident. It will certainly make the cut for my favourites.

  I loved it the moment I smelled it. It’s a juicy, sweet mandarin—very sweet but not cloying (I’m not a fan of sweetness) and nothing chemical. There’s a lot of quality here, with no plastic nuances. At first sniff, due to the sweetness, I thought there were flowers; a soft, delicate, citrusy and floral texture. Upon closer analysis, it’s a fruity sweetness, fresh, cheerful and happy, especially at the start. In the heart it becomes slightly herbal and spiced, yet retains that delicate, juicy sweetness; it’s so well-designed you don’t even want to deconstruct it. If the notes on Fragrantica are present, they’re so well-blended and harmonious that decoding them is difficult. Vaguely, as it develops, I detect sandalwood, adding warmth and base. This sunny, carefree day makes me fall in love; the sun embracing you and the person you love smiling. Disagreeing with a few points: the label or liquid should have been orange. Projection is barely moderate. The price in Mexico hovers around 3,000 pesos (160-180 USD) for 100ml.

  Seeing such positive reviews makes me doubt my own judgement, but I’ll share my honest opinion. Upon first spraying, it seemed like it would be my perfume for life: equally citrusy and sweet, without excess. It reminds me of ‘old money’ and a summer in the Adriatic. But that initial excitement vanishes in five minutes. On my skin, the citrus almost disappears, only noticeable when sniffing directly, while the sweetness fades leaving a soapy trail, like a luxurious version of a childhood perfume from Las Supernenas. Although the quality is evident, I expected more longevity for the price, which is moderate on me. The dry down is nothing special; cheaper fragrances do it better. In summary: it smells good, but I wouldn’t spend the money on it or buy anything over 30ml as I’d get bored quickly.

  No much more to add, as others have commented: it’s linear and evolves very little. What you get is a realistic blend of clementine and mandarin with a subtle touch of juniper berries. I expected jasmine or neroli due to that white florality which gives it a versatile, summery vibe. Basil and vetiver accent the opening; once the basil fades, it leaves something soapy and clean. My inexperienced nose can’t detect any further notes. It’s a wonderful intimate fragrance, typical of Atelier Cologne, at a moderate price, though some doubt its value for money due to its low projection (it lingers on the skin for about 6 hours).
