The newest (and in my opinion the most alluring) addition to The 7 Virtues collection is Candied Lychee. As the heat of summer starts to wane, there is still plenty of time to enjoy this mouth-watering perfume—a sweet and exotic delight that anyone can wear at any time. When I first tried Candied Lychee, it was like walking into a fantasy orchard filled with vibrant, juicy fruit. Playful, yet alluring. I applied it on my wrist, and suddenly, everything around me changed. I could hear laughter and feel the sun’s warmth as the fragrance wafted through the air. It wasn’t just a scent;  I was floating on a sugar dusted cloud of sunshine.

The burst of deliciousness and freshness is like a warm embrace from a dear friend, brightening your day with joy. The 7 Virtues Candied Lychee instantly transports me to carefree moments filled with happiness. A hint of fruitiness brought back nostalgic memories of past summers and I felt as light as a feather. As the perfume unfolds, I feel the embrace of peony and geranium wrapping around me. The peony, with its lush, feminine, and romantic aura draws me into a dreamy world of blooming gardens. Alongside it, the geranium adds a refreshing twist, balancing the with its subtle green, rosy note. It’s like a serene moment where the air is alive with possibilities. At its heart, Candied Lychee captures the essence of love and cherished friendships. Candied Lychee shifts and morphs to its amber base with a hint of Jelly Bean and vanilla. The amber evokes an alluring evening breeze at dusk. The vanilla is smooth and sweet, with a touch of creaminess that adds depth and whimsy.

One of the best aspects of Candied Lychee is its lingering presence throughout the day. Each spritz is like an effervescent friend who you never want to leave your side and will stay with you throughout the day. The sillage is just right- enough to turn heads and induce smiles without being overwhelming. The longevity is impressive, staying with you from morning to night.

The 7 Virtues Candied Lychee bottles the daily adventure of living our best lives. No matter what I may be doing it always seems to sprinkle enchantment all around me and those close to me.

Notes: Sugared Lychee, Vanilla, Peony, Sustainably sourced Geranium, Crystal Amber, and a playful hint of Jelly Bean.

    Ever since Delina came out, the note of lychee has had its moment in the spotlight and has not left ever since. I am familiar with the brand of 7 Virtues and I’m ecstatic to read about their newest offering. This one gives gourmand, floral heaven to the wearer. I love Sandi mentioned this one has a great longevity as this house is of the utmost quality and at a great price. A bright and comforting scent that carries you through the day. Located in the USA.

  • jessica.rauch says:

    I am VERY excited about Candied Lychee! I love the mixture of peony with the lychee and vanilla/amber base. This perfume cannot go wrong! I love the description of the lingering presence throughout the day. I can’t wait to try this! I’ve gone to 2 Sephora’s looking for it and would LOVE to win it! My favorite fragrance from the brand is Vanilla Woods. -New York, NY

  • Eris.can.swatch.kaos says:

    To be described as a friend who sticks with you, this fragrance must be a delight to wear. The notes given remind me of a stroll through a garden surrounded by fruit trees. I must try this scent. I live in Oregon.

  • kusudamakitten98 says:

    I would be really excited to try 7 Virtues Candied Lychee; I liked Sandi’s description of “an effervescent friend who you never want to leave your side and will stay with you throughout the day.” I love lychee fruit and want to explore more fragrances with a lychee note; I think the pairing with vanilla and peony sounds divine. It is so cool that 7 Virtues has this partnership with Days For Girls and is helping support period equity! I have tried Cherry Ambition before and it was wonderful.

  • FlowerPetal says:

    Wow, Sandi’s review really made Candied Lychee sound like a must-try! I love the way she describes the fragrance as playful yet alluring, and how it brings back memories of carefree summer days. The combination of sugared lychee, peony, and vanilla sounds like a dream! I’ve tried a couple of other scents from The 7 Virtues before, and I was really impressed with how unique and long-lasting they were. Now I’m definitely curious to see how Candied Lychee compares!

  • roxhas1cat says:

    I am curious about that jelly bean aspect. I’d love to be sprinkled with enchantment throughout my day. Geraniums remind me of my Grandma who always had them in the yard. My favorite of this line is Cherry Ambition which is on my “to buy” list for this fall. Thanks for the chance to win this. USA.

  • wilsonwc76 says:

    I love The 7 Virtues, and I love lychees! Lotus Pear is one of my favorites from the house. I’ve been looking for a good lychee scent that lasts, so hopeful this is the one. I love The 7 Virtues’ commitment to Days For Girls and other worthy causes. I’m in New York, NY, USA.

  • Annika says:

    I’m ot familiar with lychee as a fragrance note but the 7 Virtues Candies Lychee sounds all sorts of fun. Lots of zingy and fresh fruit nuances with feminine peony and an amber vanilla base. Girly is a good description but it also sounds like it would put a smile on those fortunate enough to smell it. I’ve tried Santal Vanilla from the line. MD, USA.

  • Citrus33 says:

    Really appreciate 7 Virtues mindfulness when it comes to it’s ingredients. What really caught my attention was the geranium and Sandi’s description “It’s like a serene moment where the air is alive with possibilities”. Candied Lychee sounds like masterfully balanced “sweet and exotic” fragrance. Have heard of 7 Virtues from prior Cafluerebon posts and was fortunate enough to try some at Sephora, with my current favorite being Lotus Pear. Love the longevity and wearability.

  • David Furman says:

    This sounds delicious from beginning to end. The sugared lychee and a rich vanilla probably makes a velvety smooth start on the beautiful journey. The floral mid of peony and geranium gives a fresh reminder of its inner complexity. Then the jellybean accord tops it off to make one sweet treat. Want to try myself, from Jacksonville, NC.

  • phuongmtran says:

    7 Virtues has many wonderful fragrances, such as Amber Vanilla. I appreciate that they are hypoallergenic, vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free. Their new one sounds so fun. I love eating lychee, so this is a must-try. I am in the USA.

  • mmerline says:

    Lychee notes seem to be having a moment, though I’m not sure I know exactly how it smells in isolation. Candied Lychee builds on the floral-complexity of the fruit with peony and geranium; the jelly bean note is fun and unexpected. And great that it has staying power too. I haven’t tried any 7 Virtues perfumes.

    I’m in the USA.

  • opalbear says:

    I always heard great things about their vanilla but I haven’t tried any from the house yet! I love lychee and the bite of green Galbanum! I love how they donate some to charity for equity. And I can’t wait to try this!!! I am in California.

  • LATONYA GIPSON-BOWMAN says:

The Candied Lychee, sounds like a beautiful note and I would love to try this fragrance. I have heard nothing but great things about it. Thank you For the opportunity. I live in Orlando Florida

  • tooka81 says:

    I love Sandi’s whimsical description of the feel of wearing this fragrance. When she put it on she heard laughter and the warmth of the sun. My favorite is the floating on a sugar dusted cloud of sunshine. I would to experience a feeling like that from a fragrance. The notes of sugared lychee, amber and poeny sound wonderful. I live in USA

  • foreverscents says:

    Sandi’s review made me think about why I wear perfume. I have to admit I usually wear fragrances for me and me alone. But Sandi wrote that Candied Lychee can turn heads and make people smile. To make people smile–what a wonderful reason to select a fragrance. Candied Lychee sounds so carefree and lush. How can one not smile when a fragrance has a hint of jellybeans?

  • Doubleoh says:

    Sandi said it best, one of the best aspects of Candied Lychee is its lingering presence throughout the day. I recently got a chance to smell this at Sephora and loved it. Sprayed some on myself and my girlfriend and we literally kept getting pleasant whiffs of it throughout the day. Just a beautiful scent that people cannot help but smile once they smell it and say hello. Not much into the floral, gourmand thing but this works. I do have Cherry Ambition as well

    I live in Dallas, TX

  • Michael Prince says:

    I loved Sandi’s review of 7 Virtues Candied Lychee. I’ve heard so many great things about this brand in the fragrance community. Founder Barb Stegemann has created an amazing brand and I would love the opprtunity to try Candied Lychee. I haven’t tried anything from this brand. I am from the USA.

  • wallygator88 says:

    Loved reading this review. It’s quite nice to see that lychees are having their moment in perfumery.

    Would love to sample this.

    I’ve had my eye on this one- and a giveaway on my birthday too! Sandi’s review really makes this sound so bright, fresh and happy- a downright joyful fragrance -i love that! 7 Virtues is one of my favorite brands, and I’m a huge fan of Vanilla Woods, Cherry Ambition and Amber Vanilla.

And the bottle art is gorgeous thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway
