A Plastic Lychee Display
This one did not agree with me at all, which was sad and shocking given how lovely and easy to wear I found the original Fresh Sugar, Sugar Lemon and Sake. So sad because I bought a lovely scent collection that included the full size lotion, body soap and fragrance in a neat box that I still use today, but the fragrance and lotion had to go far, far away from my house forever. Oddly enough, the shower gel, smells significantly different and better, IMO, and I rather enjoyed the bottle of that while it lasted, but not enough to repurchase.
Sugar Lychee sports a very stiff, plasticky and strident lychee in a saccharin base that is totally incompatible with my skin chemistry. I detect an acetone note, the astringent squeeze of juice from an unripe lemon and the bitter pith (white layer) between the skin and flesh. The backbone of this is also disturbingly poor quality Sandalwood. Total void of succulent juicy qualities, soul or depth- this truly reminds me of a powdered industrial chemical disinfectant designed to be reconstituted into a caustic solution just before application. I have sampled most of the other fragrances in this line and while my favorites remain Fresh Sake and the original Fresh Sugar, I can still give a approving nod to Citron de Vigne and Cannabis Santal. However, Sugar Lychee is of a much lower quality in both composition and ingredients it seems. If you are a diehard Lychee lover- by all means include this in your exploration. It will contrast greatly with the lychee notes used in Coach "Poppy", Ed Hardy "Villain Ladies", "Fantasy" and JHAG "Miss Charming". This will be closer to Mistral's "Lychee Rose"- an abrupt unripe biting lychee hastily dowsed in simple syrup to mask its lack of ripeness and complexity. I give this a 3/10 for originality, a 5/10 for longevity and a 2/10 for wear-ability.
