Fresh garden, complete with dirt. Fresh, vegetal, herbal, floral – but not pretty-floral, more realistic-floral. Smells like a meadow or field. A sunny meadow or field. Very nice for spring.

wet earth and soap

A warm white floral is what i get. A hint of rose sweetened a bit with coumarin; juxtaposed against a soil tinctured herbal like mineral vibe.
Ladies if youre wearing this one, you smell modern, niche, and pretty.

My curiosity piqued – I ordered a sample with an order from Luckyscent.
I get it! – it is I guess what is advertised – fresh dirty snow.
Lots of notes but in the end it smells like dirty sleet or slush on the street curb after many cars have driven past as the weather warms up – fresh ozonic bright dirt. After an hour the carnation and cedar start a slight play for your attention… the cannabis as are many notes are pretty much blended into obscurity. Too many people here are over analysing
, are too generous or talking like an expert breaking it down when it’s make up is hard enjoy when the smell is realistically significantly in the odd category – plain and simple, regardless of the fact it is high quality in its oils
or is it maybe old Ice Cubes from the freezer that have absorbed all the fridge smells that this reminds me of…
Doesn’t work for me – if it works for you I think you are odd…

It’s a shame about California Snow. I wanted to sample it for quite a long time, and having finally done so, I am somewhat crestfallen.
The notes of coumarin, sage, tea and chamomile blend with musk to create what is essentially a high-end baby wipe: soft, clean, powdery.
I get zero cannabis, rose or woody notes from vetiver and cedar on skin; and the tenacity is really lacking in a serious way. This was clearly tested on and designed for paper smelling strips rather than humans.
The scent has a cool sales pitch and good branding but the fragrance itself just doesn’t deliver: it’s not interesting, the notes that would make it interesting don’t appear to manifest, and the toiletry connotation is impossible to get around. I think part of the issue might be that an IFF junior perfumer made this as her first commercial scent–there are very few successful perfumers for a reason.
Then again, all the rave reviews seem to disagree with me, so what do I know 🙂
Baby wipes for all!

Just went in in shop here in milan and try this on my skin and i love it.. and yes i feel the hay on it.. but aside from that i love how the scent combines the note! I love it! Longetivity is good.. 6hrs to 12hrs almost a day for me

I love this. I read about the notes and knew that I had to have it and was not disappointed. It is like swimming in the river on a hot day, the heavy scent of minerals and herbs in the air. Across the water a soft whaft of burning sage or cannabis reaches your nostrils. Then you get up and dry of with a fresh towel.

A white,clean and young perfume. It opens with a strong note of chamomile and very nice sage… after a while the scent becomes lighter and softer, the rose is soft and the narcissus gives harmony and carefree. The drydown is really beautiful, an ethereal scent,young,eternal…

Loving this. A slightly sweet musky vibe paired with wet fresh earth and grass. It lasts, too. I find this very low vibe sexy, meaning not obvious or in your face, sensual in the way that you have to sort of think about it. Enjoy very much

Persil or Tide powder!
It does smell exactly like a powder soap for washing clothes, and at the same time it does send the idea of the smell of snowflakes.
It is soapy, yet herbal bits, some musk, and clean factors, beside hints of metallic for the mineral water note, and few sweetness as the combination goes optimum in presenting the snowflake like juice.
So it’s like this, soap are presented by chamomile, tea, and musk, while metallic is kind of presented by musk, soil, and hay, and few bits of tonka (just a tiny little bit so it won’t go overly sweet) then you will get the snowflake blend.
To be honest i didn’t like it at first cause the herbal notes was quite vicious, and after around 30 to 45 mins it gone well blended and harmonized to present the snowflake.
Mat Yudov in “Pitti FRAGRANZE 2017: The BEST Perfumes!” article said “This is exactly a type of fragrance that only daring, open-minded, and very talented young people can create.” Well… not really Mat, but as an experimental creation AND Mackenzie Reilly being a new young artist to create such blend, i believe it’s true for “California Snow” being her first creation.
Eventually, don’t expect the unexpected & forget what authors are saying about this blend, it’s just a snowflake on your skin blend, fresh, soapy, and very cooling.

This is so gorgeous!! A true original beauty. It definitely smells earthy, and dirty-clean. I don’t know how the perfumer did this, but it works. To me it smells like a water pond with soil and grasses around it, probably some weed smoking. I find it to be sexy, but it’s not a mass market sexy. It’s for someone who is sure of themselves, and probably prefers smells from nature. I also have the bottle, and a couple sprays stays pretty close to the body, but it does last all day. It works for California Snow because this isn’t the type of fragrance you want blasting off of you, that would be too much.
