The 3 worth trying, ranked
Similarity is the owners' vote plus the note overlap. Price is a typical US bottle price when the house publishes one. Bars are each match's own accords.
Where it differs: Dua sells it as inspired by California Dream in a 34ml bottle; expect the bright mandarin opening but a shorter, thinner ambrette and benzoin trail.
Where it differs: Arum Noir calls it its own reading of the mandarin and pear-benzoin accord, so expect the same sunny core with a different, less ambrette-forward musky finish.
