Sparkling rosy lemonade
Summary: If you like bright, fizzy, and fruity scents - go for it. As it's almost a full dupe of Kayali ESL, it's all in the name of the original - it's a (very) sparkling lychee, with roses and quite a lot of sour apple. For me, none of the expected burnt sugar or vanilla appeared; instead, I got all the rose and too much sparkliness in the drydown.
Before I got this one, I already had a miniature of Kayali ESL 39, and I thought I quite liked the scent. Although I found it a bit lacking by itself, it went as a great addition to Angel Elixir and similar scents, just to add some fruitiness when needed. Since I almost used up the mini and did not see a reason for buying a full Kayali, I decided to go for this one.
Boy, was I lacking in my judgment. I need to say I have a tumultuous relationship with rose notes; they usually nauseate me, barring a few exceptions.
When the full bottle arrived, I decided to give it a try on its own, just bare lychee. The experiment went wrong - I could not wait to get home and get changed. But wait, I thought, maybe I'm just in the wrong mood, let's give it another try. No. I dug out a t-shirt a week later, still smelling like Fusion, and I was still nauseous. No other tries for me.
Now, I don't mean to say the perfume is bad. I can recognize generally appealing scents, even when they're not my cup of tea. To add to that, when I gave a decant to my mom, she called me several hours later raving about it, and the full bottle went to her immediately.
Recently, I've discovered that overly fruity scents often lack essence for me. I need something warmer and grounding, and I was counting on the base notes in this one; they usually do the trick for me. Here I got NONE of the base notes. I feel like any traces of the sugar and vanilla were totally dissolved in the fizzy, rosy soda.
Aside from my personal scent preferences, the perfume is crazy long-lasting (as I mentioned above, after a week in the wardrobe, my t-shirt was still assaulting me with all the fizz), it projects well, the bottle is pretty, and the price is excellent. It will be a good choice if you like bright fruity scents.
