Eau de Californie
by Celine
Eau de Californie by Celine presents a refined, dry woody scent centered around palo santo, softened by powdery orris and subtle citrus. It evokes a quiet forest bath with earthy, mossy, and slightly sweet wood notes, balanced with a delicate aromatic dryness. The fragrance is unisex, wearable, and leans toward understated elegance—ideal for daily wear, especially in spring and autumn. Its sillage is intimate and moderate, fading quickly into a personal, skin-scent trace. Though highly praised for its-iris-palosanto harmony and smooth, balm-like drydown, the perfume is consistently noted for its weak projection and short longevity. Many users report it becoming undetectable within an hour, even with generous application, making it unsuitable for those seeking lasting performance.
Pros
- +Distinctive, balanced woody-powdery aroma that captures the essence of palo santo without appearing smoky or aggressive
- +Refined and elegant scent suitable for day and night wear, particularly for those who appreciate subtle, nature-inspired fragrances
- +Unisex appeal with a soft, translucent character that enhances natural wearability
Cons
- −Extremely weak projection and longevity, fading to a skin scent within minutes
- −Underwhelming performance for the price, often cited as unjustified given its short duration
- −Light sillage makes it unsuitable for those seeking presence or stronger diffusion
