California United Scents of America for women and men

Thank you to United Scents of America for providing a sample.

California is mostly a "suntan lotion" tropical aroma saved from being too simple and common by a dash of green, herbal eucalyptus. I do enjoy coconut notes in fragrances, especially for spring and summer. The coconut in California is definitely the dominant note, but the eucalyptus really acts as its "plus one" and gives it a little twist just before it heads off to typical "beachy" fragrance territory.

The vanilla here is also a surprise. Apply this one and sniff your skin about 4 hours later. The coconut suntan scent has burned off, and what's left is a pleasant, earthy, balsamy vanilla aroma, not the spun-sugar variety. California is an enjoyable and youthful warm weather fragrance, whether you need that in July or December.

I really wonder how the combination coconut and vanilla + eucalyptus (which is something I nearly always dislike) is like : it is intriguing me because it may be a good surprise (or not ^^ ).
