Lychee Blossom

I've searched EVERYWHERE to find a similar fragrance to my all-time favorite perfume, which is Emily the Strange: The Day Everything Went Strange (Hot Topic winter of 2006/2007). I'm very easily attached to fragrances, but nothing rocks my nostalgia like smelling the one bottle of that perfume I own. Walking into The Body Shop and finding Lychee Blossom, on clearance, was a major feat. The unfortunate thing is that it's being discontinued, but at least now I know what notes to look for. I'll review this how I review all perfumes. For one thing, the bottle is average in appearance. I do not like the way the cap perfectly hugs the atomizer, though. The nozzle did get stuck in the cap at one point and I had to retrieve it with tweezers. I also wish The Body Shop perfumes came in larger bottles, like their body sprays. The scent is lovely and, to me, extremely addictive, but unfortunately, this particular perfume not only does not last long at all, but changes drastically on my skin unfortunately. I know this is likely just my chemistry with it, but I'd have liked it to stay more true to its fragrance while I'm wearing it. I can spray it in my hair and clothes, though, which is pretty effective. Overall, while I love the scent, I don't like how it performs on me or the fact that I can no longer buy it sans eBay. That being said, it's still getting an 8/10 for being the closest thing I've ever found to my all-time favorite. xx

To me this smells mostly like lychee (fruit wise) but I can get the mangosteen adding that little something extra. I think of lychee bubble tea drinks, which really makes me smile since I don't recall ever had a bad time going out for bubbles. Along side the fruit I get a soapy non-descript sweet floral. I guess a combination of freesia and magnolia makes sense, although I don't smell them separately, they are mashed together somehow. I think the flowers smell pink to me, I always visualize that generic floral scent icon fragrantica uses with the pink flowers. Idk how long this lasts on skin because w/ body shop stuff I am always spraying my shirt anyhow. I get about 6 hours, it doesn't project much, is more of a "me" scent. It's sweet, a bit unique, clean, and playful. Oh, and I have to add my friend got me a fresh bottle from her trip to Japan! So they are still selling it new overseas.

This is great! Very sour and sweet at the same time and fruity. Original too, I don't think I have ever smelt a fume quite like this. This blind buy turned out to smell pretty much exactly like I expected based on the notes, reviews and the bottle. Nice surprise! :D Edit. 5 hrs after applying a spray and it's still there, excellent!

Didn't last that long. Very fruity. Suitable for day use & summer.

A surprisingly nice one from The Body Shop. Usually I find their floral scents to be pretty consistently boring and/or synthetic, but this is neither. Lychee Blossom is a straight-forward, crisp and fresh scent. It definitely smells like juicy litchi and fresh florals. Thankfully I don't get any abrasive scent from the freesia in this - just a light, clean, floral undertone. A great option if you're looking for an affordable, light but deliciously juicy floral perfume. The body lotion and body butter are also wonderful and definitely worthwhile purchases in themselves!
