eau de 荔枝椰果
about me: 30s, introverted, nonbinary (perceived fem), working in medical. this is a repost of a previous review from the other fragrance site that shall not be named or condoned.
format: eau de parfum
source: 1.2mL sample, sale/swap
year: unknown
price: $275 for 100mL
current season: mid-summer, early evening
priming method: none
hydration level: moderate
application: regular
masked: no
wet: among the molecular musks there is one that wishes for my death and one that is more of a miike snow genghis khan dearly-detested situation. it's the latter musk that is present today, and the initial spray elicits wariness, but i will be patient and see where this goes.
dry: the apple note emerges 5 minutes in and contributes a sweet juiciness reminiscent of freshly-bitten fiji apples that combines beautifully with said musk. this is bright, sweet, and complex. i cant make out the bergamot at all which is unusual but fine. this kind of fruit-forward fragrance is a very atypical scent profile for me and i would never feel comfortable wearing this outside but chilling out in my own living room im very much enjoying it.
30 min in: really lovely tiny soft scent bubble with surprising projection. still really bright and fruity with the tiniest little undercurrent of tea. i havent experienced any screechiness at all with this yet and im impressed.
45 minutes in: HOLD THE PHONE. i just realized what ive been smelling this entire time is freaking. lychee jelly? you know the ones in the little cups with the little cubes of nata de coco in it? how on earth are apple and tea and all of this combining to make a lychee accord of all things???? once i realized it, i couldnt unsmell it, and i guess the association got into my head because the fruity sweetness has begun to turn ever-so-slightly sugary and cloying. whatever complexity i got from the opening doesnt seem to be here any more. however, if you dont have that particular association, you will probably be fine.
2 hours in: the apple/lychee is starting to fade and the whole thing smells much more rounded now ... although it's also much less potent. like a fruit tea that's so diluted you wish it had just been plain water instead.
3 hours in: almost a skin-scent but unbelievably a trace of the apple is still hanging on. i am sadly not getting ANY of those base notes (black amber! where are you), which i think would really carry this scent forward.
4 hours in: gone baby gone. just like this sample to my sister, who loves fruity sweet perfumes and particularly apple scents, and whose adoration for the apple-loving hello kitty makes this fragrance even more perfect.
