Mykonos California Blue is a playful aquatic citrus Extrait de Parfum: bright grapefruit and juicy pear over a salty marine breeze, finished with soft wood and a touch of caramel. It captures a sunlit day by the ocean, lighthearted, fruity and fresh, and belongs to our citrus collection.
How California Blue develops on skin
The opening pairs lavender, pear, grapefruit and pink salt, so the first spray feels like a cool, slightly salty splash with a fruity edge. In the heart, rhubarb, water blossoms and marine notes keep things airy and green; this is where the aquatic side of the scent is clearest. The base settles into moss, soft wood and caramel. The caramel adds a gentle sweetness that rounds off the freshness without turning it into a gourmand, a bit like a golden beach sunset after a day in the waves.
Longevity, sillage and projection
As an extrait, Mykonos California Blue carries an official rating of 10+ hours of longevity. Sillage is rated moderate to strong and projection strong, with an overall moderate intensity. In practice that means a fresh trail people notice when you walk past, without the density of a heavy evening scent. How long it lasts on you will always depend on your skin and the weather.
When to wear California Blue, and who it suits
This is a summer fragrance first and foremost. It works for everyday wear, for sport and active days, and for summer evenings out, especially outdoors or near the water. California Blue is listed as unisex, while Mykonos's own label leans masculine: anyone who likes fresh, fruity-aquatic scents with a soft, sweet finish can wear it.

15 ml, 50 ml or 100 ml?
Mykonos California Blue comes in 15 ml, 50 ml and 100 ml. The 15 ml miniature, roughly 150 sprays, is the smallest way to try it or pack it for a weekend away. A 50 ml bottle holds roughly 500 sprays, a good size if you want to try it through one summer or keep it in a travel bag. If it becomes your go-to warm-weather scent, the 100 ml gives you about twice as much of the same extrait.
