California Sunset and the Ciclo Brand
Ciclo California Sunset is a women's fragrance released in 2020.
This cologne belongs to the Like Me collection, combining juicy fruity notes with floral softness, warm vanilla and an expressive chypre base.
The fragrance was created by perfumer Alfredo Monteiro Filho.
Its mood is easy to imagine as a vivid sunset over the California coast: sunny, cheerful and eye-catching, yet with an elegant depth that gradually reveals itself.
Fragrance Character and Development
California Sunset opens with a juicy fruity accord.
Pear, raspberry and strawberry create a sweet, sparkling impression with a touch of freshness, making the opening feel light and highly appealing.
The composition then becomes more structured and layered.
Bergamot adds citrus transparency, peony softens the fragrance with an airy floral note, while patchouli gradually shapes a distinctive chypre outline with a woody, earthy nuance.
In the base, vanilla and musk leave a warm, rounded and sensual trail. As a result, the fruity sweetness does not feel flat: it gains a soft texture and a noticeable, long-lasting foundation.
Wearability and Sillage
Positioned as a women's fragrance, it is designed for those who enjoy fruity and floral compositions with a gourmand accent.
It develops especially naturally in warm weather, during walks, get-togethers and parties, when you want to add energy and impact to your look.
California Sunset is described as having very strong sillage, so it is best to be careful with the amount applied.
The database does not provide precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing, so it is best to gradually find the ideal intensity while taking the temperature, setting and the characteristics of your own skin into account.
Its Place in the Collection and Similar Fragrances
Within the Like Me line, this fragrance stands out for its combination of juicy berries, soft vanilla and chypre depth.
It will appeal to fans of expressive compositions who want both a playful fruity opening and a more mature, musky-patchouli dry-down.
As a direction for further exploration, consider Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris, as well as its Dazzling Lights Collector's Edition and Sparkle Clash Edition versions.
At the same time, California Sunset retains its own character thanks to the distinctive combination of pear, berries, peony, patchouli and vanilla.
Fragrance Profile
The fragrance belongs to the chypre and fruity families, while its notes are also associated with citrus, floral, gourmand, musky and woody groups.
For Ciclo, California Sunset is an emotional, sunny interpretation of a modern feminine fragrance, built on the contrast between juiciness, freshness and warm sensuality.
