‘I sprayed this perfume and did a whole workout and swam in the ocean and the scent was still there. I couldn’t believe how long this lasted.’
Sephora shoppers are raving over a ‘perfect summer scent’ that’s available for £30. Candied Lychee by The 7 Virtues has been praised for its sweet and floral take on the fruity note that fragrance fans are loving.
It opens up with a bright lychee note before settling into a floral heart of peony and rounding out with crystal amber and vanilla in the base. Lychee, vanilla and peony also make appearances in cult classic Delina by Parfums de Marly (£165 for 30ml), although Delina is said to be more powdery.
Lychee has been quite a popular note in recent years, with Kayali’s Eden Sparkling Lychee (£73 for 50ml) being a fast favourite. As the name suggests lychee is the star of the scent although other fruits and violet flowers make an appearance.

But a third reviewer was not totally impressed, saying: “Smells amazing but unfortunately does not have a staying power on my skin. That was so disappointing because I wish everyone could smell how good it is.”
A fourth added: “If you’re a fan of sweet yet sophisticated scents, Candied Lychee is a must-try. It’s perfect for those looking to add a fresh, fun, and feminine fragrance to their collection.”
It’s always worth paying attention to application when applying a perfume. A tip is to generously apply perfume to all pulse points – in particular when skin is freshly washed and moisturised – for the most longevity.
Shoppers can get their hands on the ‘must-try’ Candied Lychee for £30 a bottle on Sephora.
