Eden Sparkling Lychee | 39 Eau de Parfum

Smells like frozen peach rings! I kind of get why people would think this is more of a summer or spring scent, but to me this 1000% is a sweet winter. Like, chewing gummy candy in the type of cold where you can see your breath. Maybe it's the jasmine (often reads kind of frosty/wintery to me) or the super faint woody notes deep down, but this just feels way too sweet for a sweaty summer day. It's like a late winter/early spring vibe to me. Playful, light, and the florals come out really nicely during the drydown. I feel like I can safely douse myself in this and have a nice scent cloud for the day without it being too much. Violet and apple comes out strong a couple minutes after spray, and overall for being a lychee branded scent, the actual lychee note is pretty subdued, in my opinion. I think it's the violet/apple/lemon combo that beats out the lychee? Either way, the fruity combo is SO delicious. One of the few fruity perfumes that I actually wish I could eat.

Kayali Eden Sparkling Lychee 39 smelly like chewy violet and raspberry, but really a non-tart lychee, candy with the freshness of watermelon gummies while not smelling like watermelon at all. Not necessarily super dewy and watery like watermelon either, but just feels like the candy. Not sparkling at all to me, nothing like a drink. This is an amazing, fun, girly scent when you want something sweet in hot weather but also don't want a creamy tropical scent, although there is vanilla in the notes that help create the sweet candied effect. For me, this is one I wear if I'm going to be outside for majority of the time. Not for indoors, then it smells a little synthetic. Outside it's sweet and fresh. Like it's perfect in heat and cool rainy days. One of the few bottles I don't mind having in a 100 mL, which is so funny because I'm so late in discovering this.

Like Burberry Her, her sister fragrance from another house, Eden Sparkling Lychee is what I would characterize as one of those new ethereal solar fragrances. But where Burberry Her stays sweet, warm, and jammy for hours on my skin, Eden Sparkling Lychee 39 tends to go tart, like a poor quality yuzu, grapefruit, or citron. Bergamot is not listed as a note, but it is likely the culprit. It is an extremely common perfume ingredient that I tend to hate in most perfume blends. All the Kayali fragrances I've tried tend towards the pungent a bit apart from Vanilla 28, I'll admit, and Eden Sparkling Lychee was an obsession of mine at first before that sourness appeared. I keep the high rating because she really is special in the perfume world, but she falls short of the signature fragrance I was hoping she would be. Overall, close to a 9/10.

I LOVE THIS SCENT. It’s Bright! Fun! Sweet! Pretty! A bit Sexy! I really enjoy this scent. It’s so good. On my bare skin I get about 3-4 HRS without a Base [oil/lotion]. This scent really makes Me feel BRIGHT & HAPPY! I don’t really care about it not being a LOUD scent; sometimes I don’t want that. I think this is going to a perfect Spring and Summer scent...if my bottle makes it that long! I can’t wait to try different fragrance combinations with this one! I may just get another bottle! The 100ML since I got the 50ML! Y’all it’s really good. A throw and go! A layer and Pair! Just try it as fragrance is subjective and I am often surprised by how I personally feel about something after reading reviews.

This is my favourite so far of the Kayali range, this is what I expected Vanilla Rock Candy Rock Sugar to smell like (which it didn’t as it was straight up 90s Coco Chanel) it’s giving fruity candy, the most strawberry of all strawberry fragrances and it’s sweet and luscious without being too sweet & sickly. It’s flirty & playful, more of a skin scent so it’s suitable for the office as it’s not too strong and the projection isn’t too much. It does wear off quicker than all the other Kayali fragrances I’ve tried though, but they say if you can’t smell your own perfume on you, then it suits you. This is the perfect summer fragrance, it’s light, fresh, berry & luscious.
