Eden Sparkling Lychee | 39 Eau de Parfum by Kayali Fragrances

The opening is a bomb: acidic lychee with blackcurrants and lemon, super sparkling and juicy. Then comes the red apple, almost candied, which takes control in the heart and adds a coy, sensual sweetness. The flowers are there, but like a light veil that doesn’t steal the show. As it dries, it keeps that sugary character, reinforced by balanced vanilla with musk and light woods so it’s not cloying. The vibe is festive and seductive, like a tropical lychee drink sweetened with apple syrup, ideal for catching attention at events. Perfect for spring and summer outdoors, where its trail shines. The longevity is notable, with intense fixation that lasts hours. My rating: 9/10. An essential fruity explosion for lovers of sweet and sensual scents.

One of the most addictive perfumes I’ve ever smelled; everything about it is beautiful. It has a natural sweetness, as if it’s just at the right point.

My absolute favourite from Kayali without a doubt: a sparkling, fresh and cheerful delight. I adore how the lychee blends with lemon at the start, becoming softer and more melodic with the violet and rose. I’m surprised I don’t notice the jasmine, which sometimes dominates florals. What I like most is that it keeps its promise: the lychee is present all the time, even as it evolves into the base. That makes me happy, because with Kayali expectations aren’t always met. The only flaw is longevity and sillage; despite being better than Eden Juicy Apple, it lasts about an hour, which is disappointing. However, there is layering: mix it with another fresh or floral EDT, or a simple vanilla. Ultimately, it’s a matter of taste. If you prefer something sweeter, try Vanilla Candy Rock or Yum Pistachio from the same brand, as this one is more soapy, fresh and fruity.

I’ve never been a fan of lychee, but this perfume, with that delicious opening of red apple and a fleeting touch of cherry, made me want to own a lychee perfume for the first time. They catalogue it as floral-fruity, but I see it more as sweet, dusty fruit. The vanilla is key: it gives that clean, powdery sweetness. It doesn’t smell like typical shampoo, but rather an expensive fruity shampoo or a good dry shampoo. It’s pleasant, dry, fresh, and sweet without being cloying. I associate it with a pale red colour with a warm pink touch and woody undertones, like the bottle. It’s not femme fatale, but a lovely girl type, a princess with a spark who sometimes plays at being the ‘bad girl’ for fun. It has personality and clear messages. In terms of character, it’s a modern Snow White, confident; if the stepmother causes drama, she faces her with height and then goes to dance near the beach in summer. Young, attractive, with self-esteem, a bit arrogant but a good person. Sweet and characterful, with a desire to stand out. It’s not the typical teenager with a body mist. She wants to look striking, different, and sophisticated. It has three middle notes: jasmine, rose, and violet. It’s not literal rose or incense, nor mature/vintage; it’s soft and powdery, mixing without competing. The jasmine isn’t very noticeable, but in combination, the protagonist is the violet (I love it). Although it doesn’t declare iris, it feels clear, like lipstick, and recalls past decades, perhaps a version of Sun Moon Stars by Lagerfeld from 1995/96: powdery, fruity, sweet, with notable vanilla. It doesn’t smell vintage; it’s enjoyed for the fruit and vanilla, but has nostalgic moments. Over time, you note cedar and sandalwood that give creaminess and warmth, adding seriousness. It’s suitable for all ages: from young girl to older woman. You must use it if you like it. It’s not humid, fresh, or aquatic; I feel it dry, without being earthy or heavy. Perfumes are for those who enjoy them, but it’s quite feminine. Although it’s sweet and fruity, it doesn’t look like a pharmacy body mist; it has elegance and sophistication in its balance. It’s not cloying or intrusive, but I wouldn’t wear it at noon in summer, yes in the afternoon/evening or with a breeze. What else can I say if I liked it so much? The longevity. I’ve tried several Kayalis; they are bombs at the start with projection, but on me the longevity is terrible. Generally I feel it for an hour, some for two, none for more than three, which is rare. I know there are people with that problem, but with the potent opening and oil concentration, they still don’t last on me. I think that’s the great downside of Kayali: they aren’t cheap or easy to get (at least in Chile), and I’m looking for alternatives or dupes in Arabic perfumeries. In conclusion: Eden Sparkling Lychee is wonderful. Rich, sophisticated, feminine. I love the red apple, hard to find and smells natural. But the longevity puts me off: expensive and doesn’t last. But as for being rich, it is rich.

It smells like fruity shampoo but a bit more sophisticated. If you’re looking for a vibe of this scent but truly well-made… Almaz by Myrurgia.

I tried my hardest to like it, but for me it’s a resounding no. When I wear it on clothes it smells fresh-fruity, something like a shampoo. As soon as I wear it on my skin and it dries, it becomes a dirty smell, like unwashed hair. I know it’s not the perfume’s fault, it’s my skin, but of all the ones I own, it’s the first to leave me with such an uncomfortable sensation. I think it’s better to try it before buying, not because it’s bad, but because it’s nothing new.

I’ve tried everything, but this is a resounding no. On clothes, it smells fresh and fruity, like shampoo, but on dry skin, it turns into a dirty scent, akin to unwashed hair. I know it’s my skin, but this is the first time it’s given me such an uncomfortable feeling. Perhaps the best advice is to test it before buying; it’s not bad, just nothing new.

It smells a bit childish, strong with lychee and lemon at first, then dries down to a mix of sugar and soft rose. It lifts your spirits, smelling like a doll or fruity shampoo. The longevity is low, about two hours, and for the price, I think there are better options. That said, it is something original that isn’t seen often.

I neither love nor hate it; for now, it’s bearable. It opens very tropical/fruity with lots of lychee, but within a few hours it changes to something heavier. It reminds me of Delina in that incense base. Tremendously masculine when dried, I don’t like that part. I won’t be repurchasing.

It smells fun but with very short longevity; 90% disappears so quickly that you don’t even need to write more.

The bottle is the same pretty model, now in a tropical salmon colour, and the sprayer is always excellent. The trail and longevity are moderate, as in most of their fragrances. The price is high given the lack of sufficient fixation, although the brand doesn’t lie and offers 10 ml decants or mini replicas to test before buying the 50 or 100 ml. It is a fruity-floral scent similar to Edén Juicy Apple; within these aspects, it is all normal to me, as I expected an adorable doll-like aroma. For me, it is a success since I adore girly chic scents; it has a bubbly opening like my favourite Strawberries & Champagne body mist from VS with a refreshing strawberry note, while the ESL Eau de Parfum opens with a fresh lychee but becomes soft and powdery with greater refinement in the notes, although not in longevity. Both are sweet fruity scents for spring to summer days; generally, they are of the same style.

Well, I’m not usually a fan of fruity scents, but I wanted to try it. It smells very good, fruity and sparkling. The opening is an explosion of blackcurrants, apple, and lychee; as it settles, you note musk and cedar. It’s jovial, cheerful, and gives energy, but I’m not in that mood for perfumes. It seems too youthful for what I’m looking for. As I said, it smells splendid and is ideal for daily wear or fun outings, but it’s not for me.

Regarding whether it resembles Delina, the answer is no; they have nothing to do with each other. It is a sweet fruity perfume with very good quality. If you don’t like fruity, sweet, sparkling perfumes, this isn’t for you because it is exactly that. It opens with a fruity explosion where I sense the lychee, apple, and blackcurrants; the lychee gives a very good acid-sweet touch, and as time passes, I sense the sweet, dry violet with a red apple and lychee. It smells spectacularly well, very addictive, youthful, cheerful, and feminine. I have compared it side by side and it is almost identical to Ángel Nova in the opening; the Kayali one becomes sweeter, like a sweet treat smell, while Ángel Nova stays acidic alongside the rose and is fresher. This Eden line from Kayali is the young fruity line, as the regular line has many scents I find more complicated and less pleasant because you either love them or hate them. It lasts quite a bit for me, between six hours, although I am more of an aroma reapplication team; if I like it, I don’t mind reapplying. If you like this type of aroma, you will like it.

Will it smell like Delina? What are your forecasts?
