Candied Lychee

I was sampling the three different perfumes from the Prada paradoxe line when a sephora worker came to suggest other perfumes that would be pleasing to me and I had never taken particular interest in the 7 Virtues line, but this was so intriguing from the opening spray. It's very sugary sweet, in a way that I really appreciated because it doesn't feel immature. It's more like a high-femme lesbian scent: syrupy in a way that may be too much for certain palettes but overall inoffensive and inviting. I don't perceive it as sour at all, but I see where some would call it tart. It's more tart in a flirtatious fruity way, the way biting a green-apple hi-chew feels (not bc it smells like green apple, just in tartness.) she's fun! she's delicious! she's Jenna Rink after being 30 and going back to being 13 with her new-found knowledge of taking things less seriously. If I could make a list of high-femme scents (like on letterboxd) this would be among the top 5! and with the company's dedication to sustainability I have a newfound interest in this perfume and will be looking into the 7 virtues more <3

super light, fresh, sweet scent! starts with a bright, fruity lychee and becomes more floral over time. the peony and sweetness combined really give that "candied lychee" vibe--it's like when you're peeling a lychee and in the middle of peeling, that inner skin bursts and you have to lick the juice before it gets everywhere, except much sweeter and not bitter (but still getting that floral aroma of the lychee skin). like another reviewer said, it does kind of smell like Commodity Juice, but i feel like Juice is tarter and heavier, and doesn't give LYCHEE the way this scent does--strawberry-rhubard pie filling versus a lychee fruit tea with lychee jelly. it lasts a decent amount of time, especially on clothes--i must've accidentally got some on the collar of my sweater when i was applying to my neck, because i was pleasantly surprised 2 days later when i rewore the sweater and could still smell it. i love it and think it's definitely worth a try, but it might not be versatile enough to warrant a full-sized bottle

Before my review I want to say this should be called Candied Peony, that would have been perfect! This is such a beautiful fragrance I can barely even describe how beautiful it is! If you like fresh, light florals, clean and almost slightly gourmand than buy this gem! I can understand the liking to BB Her and the like it does have a similar scent to it but this I find more fresh then Her. Maybe it’s closer to Her Burberry London Dream than the regular Her. It lasts a long time, while not being headache inducing, it’s fresh without being citrusy, it’s gourmand without being too sweet and it projects nicely while still sitting close to the skin! Perfectly balanced fragrance!!!!!

Got this as a gift from my sister for Christmas and wasn't so sure about it at first, as I'm not a huge fan of lychee generally. But this is a really nice, inoffensive, well rounded perfume. Sweet, but not cloyingly sweet, with a really nice dry down that gets more refined the longer you wear it. The lychee adds a fresh, bright note that turns into smooth, fem, powdery softness as the perfume sits on the skin. You really get the peony and amber. It's nothing super exciting, but a nice casual perfume that I think is a crowd pleaser. I wouldn't call it sexy, but it's a pretty fragrance that reminds me of garden dresses, tea parties, butterflies . Very spring-scented.

Surprisingly good scent. I was expecting something boring and generic but it is a quite pleasant scent. Reminds me of a warm sunny spring day among blooming flowers, peonies. However, it is not green or sharp. It is leaning sweet and candy-like. It is light, playful and carefree. It has some airy, fresh quality. Younger crowd may appreciate it. It brings a smile to my face every time I smell it. I would be a pleasant day scent for many occasions. I could wear it around the house, to run errands and to the office. I blind bought it, thinking that I will probably return it, but it is a keeper :) Lovely. Give it a try.
