!!! This is good! Very very close to California Dream but I’d say Persephone doesnt have quite the same rind/pithy zesty/borderline bitter quality, and mandarin note in California Dream is definitely greener. So Persephone feels overall slightly sweeter. For the price though, this is hard to beat. Generally I tend to not go for dupes because of bottle quality, but the presentation of all of the Velixir perfumes feels luxe, from the metal cap to the glass and metal name plates. I’m finding that Persephone also has better longevity on skin
