Peach's Revenge
I tested Pastel Rumours and Peach's Revenge side by side since they both revolve around a strong peach note. What sets Peach's Revenge apart is the added guava, which takes up about 40% of the composition. It’s still peach-dominant, but the guava definitely comes through.
The peach is sweet, but not just a basic fruity sweetness—there’s caramel and vanilla in the background, creating a richer base. I don't pick up too many other notes, but the vanilla and caramel add some density to what would otherwise be a top-heavy fruity scent. Those sweeter elements, along with some amber, help ground the peach, but peach remains the star of the show.
Peach's Revenge is also a bit smoother overall. It avoids that slightly sharp, synthetic sweetness that Pastel Rumours has—something people have compared to Erba Pura—a kind of chemically, tart fruitiness. While I do like the overall scent, it does feel a bit like a fancier version of something you’d find at The Body Shop. The opening is the most interesting part: that juicy peach and guava combo is bright and fun. But as it dries down, the fruity side of the guava fades, and you're left with a tart, slightly sour edge. It still gives off a bit of a tropical vibe but leans more into fruity sweetness with caramel lingering in the background.
Go with this one over Pastel Rumours if you're after something slightly fresher, with a noticeable vanilla base and a fruitier profile thanks to the guava. They're definitely similar, but when compared side by side, the differences stand out. That said, I wouldn’t recommend getting both—they’re not different enough to justify the price.
This leans unisex but definitely skews more feminine. It’s best suited for fall, spring, and even winter—it’s strong enough to cut through the cold. I wouldn’t wear it in the heat unless I was spending time outdoors. Overall, it’s worth sampling if you like peach, but personally, I don't think it’s worth niche pricing.
