Very reminiscent of Flowerbomb, but perhaps a littler softer and less intensely sugary. The patchouli is softer as well. It’s overall as if the volume is turned down. I like that it is at an affordable price and is also (as far as I’m aware) a crueltyl-free company.

I really wanted to like this because I am currently on the hunt for fragrances that don’t have chemical nasties like PCMs and phthalates (although to be honest it seems the latter additive has been phased out even by mainstream designer fragrances judging from responses to my email queries) – and Korres’ is very transparent about its ingredient list, which I appreciate. But this perfume doesn’t smell like anything on me after an initial very promising blast of red hard candy. Then I get nothing, just a vague make-up powder smell. It must be my skin because others are reporting amazing scent, sillage and longevity. Oh well. I got it on sale and at least I can spritz without worrying about my toxic body burden.

This scent is amazing! The patchouli blast at the beginning is no joke. I have grown to love that menthol-aromatic blast in the first 20 seconds.
Yes, this is like a more herbal Flowerbomb, and dries down very vanilla-cozy sweet. Freesia is there helping it along in freshness, so the sweetness doesn’t become overpowering. Holds on to its herbal patchouli crisp edge for the next few hours, but sweet, warm vanilla is really boss here.
I have the lotion since it came with the EDP in a set, and at first thought it smelled weird, like rancid olive oil, but after applying it, a few minutes later I was like “what smells so good?” And it was me! Give it a minute.
On my skin it only lasts 3-4 hours, but if I spray some on the edge of my shirt, it smells divine and lasts 8 hours. I think if you are a fan of patchouli/vanilla-floral fragrances that are popular now, this is a safe bet. I really love this.

Received this as a birthday gift from my best friend
The initial burst of vanilla reminded me of la vie est belle, but it then begins to soften and become more floral.
I thought i must be crazy for smelling a hint of gucci rush but i now see this also has freesia, patchouli and peach.
Freesia and patchouli are quite strong in this and stops it from being too sweet or syrupy.
Overall its sweet with hints of bitter, powder and fruit.
I really love it and think its a great fun and sexy vanilla fragrance.

A lovely combination of notes. Lychee, vanilla, freesia – delightful. And that’s not all of course, there’s a really soft sensuous sandalwood too, a lovely soothing, calming tea, and gorgeous soft herby patchouli, and other fruit and flowers. Lovely. And it is feminine, refreshing, light and pretty. I love it. It lasts well and has very nice sillage so that other people notice and say how nice I smell. Really lovely.

I tried it at the drugstore earlier this morning and I am quite impressed with its quality. It smells like a luxury fragrance for half the price.
I also find similarities with Flowerbomb, however on my skin, it feels like a lighter, simpler and fresher version of La Nuit Tresor, probably because of the vanilla-litchi combo. I would totally recommend it for a gift or a blind buy. I’m definitely buying it myself.
SancheZ83 – :
I agree with the others, smells very close to flowerbomb. But I have found with this mostly natural perfume, that it turns very fast. I have had it about 6 months, stored in excellent conditions, and it has already gone off. I have used maybe 40percent of the bottle. Pretty disappointed!
ristamash – :
Yes, it does smell like Flowerbomb! But at a lower price and without the phthalates. Nothing ground-breaking here, but it’s a very well done gourmand that can stand on its own against any of its more expensive counterparts.
pompyhoh079Unlogrere – :
yes, it is a great vanilla fragrance and yes it could be a chanel perfume, it is the best of korres. rich vanilla with a touch of freesia… better that flowerbomb on me!
Illummifofe – :
It is so sensual fragrance, and the duration on me it is more than 6 hours! I love it
Ak47 vsem vsem – :
I really enjoyed this last year as a summer perfume. It was indeed sweet from the vanilla and lychee, but the freesia was a lovely touch. Its one of those oh so soft flowers that I really love.
It lost it’s luster for me come fall, but that could be that I think it really is a spring/summer only scent. Maybe I should give it another go now the weather is warmer.
For the price though I can’t argue. It is one of the few scents that had a price tag that made me smile instead of cringe that I actually wore til the bottle was empty.
ersh – :
If it was not for the lasting power being so poor (I can’t smell it at all after 2-3 hours of wear) this would be my absolute favourite perfume.
It opens with an almost throat drop kind of sweetness to it, dark and syrupy and sort of eucalyptus feeling fresh at the same time. It is hard to explain, but very definitely some kind of throat candy. Those notes, however, settle very quickly into a soft, dark, mature vanilla with hints of sandalwood and peach and other sweet things like jasmine. To me, jasmine is a sweet scent.
Despite being dark, a sweet gourmand kind of scent, this is a perfume I tend to wear all the time because it stays close to your skin, never venturing far away at all. Perfect for the office, or other spaces where you are in close contact with people, since they will only get a hint of your perfume if even that. Bad, if you want to be able to smell the perfume yourself without actively sniffing your wrists or wherever else you might have applied it.
All in all, a lovely scent if it only had better lasting power and a bit more sillage.
Bineelaunda – :
Very sweet sugary vanilla. soft and young. i didn’t buy it bc it is very candy-like. It looked so promising with the freesia. It isn’t quite long lasting either…
nul074Unlogrere – :
I have been after this for long since reviews mentioned it smells similar to V&R Flowerbomb. I just received it today and I am very pleased. The opening is the same like flowerbomb with tea and bergamot and you really won’t tell the difference between the two. The heart develops into a very warm and sparkling mixure of freesia and jasmine with a touch of lychee. The heart lacks the sharpness of orchid in flowerbomb but still smells nearly the same, more sensual and warmer. From beginning to end it maintains its floral fruity character where the patchouli drydown gives it a luxurious character. If you love FB and you are after a cheaper fragrance, get this one as others won’t be able to tell the difference between the two!
dewastators – :
This is a light gourmand, I like it, it isn’t heady, it is fresh and easy to wear, I guess in a way it is a bit like Flowerbomb, , same type of scent, but the Korres is more innocent smelling, not as sweet, not as as seductive as Flowerbomb. I like lychee, it gives it some lightness, and the vanilla is great, not overly foody or dry.l
Longevity is weak though. But I truly like it.

Deliten,Korres perfumes usually have an average silage and longevity,especially the one that you mentioned in your review.Vanilla lychee lasted about 3-4 hours on my skin.
nizam77455 – :
I’m thinking about blind buying this one since it’s not available in Sweden. But I first have to know, how is lasting power and silage? Does it last more than 6 hours on skin? please help me with this!
Sawjkee – :
I like it, but I don´t love it… I was hoping that it would remind me more of Flowerbomb, since I love Flowerbomb…
Unlobbylali – :
Lovely! As said before, sweet but not heavy. And reminiscent of Flowerbomb. I often dislike sandalwood, but in this it muted/well blended. I bought the shower gel as a gift for a 16-year-old. And got some nice face cream and shampoo samples!
Cliethy – :
a great perfume! sweet but not too heavy with its body milk which is not expensive at all lasts all day! i love it!
vdihari – :
wow!just surprised!smells really sweet and expensive.Similar to Flowerbomb,yes,but more friuty,also freesia is nice here.Lasts all the day.Good job.
Svetochek – :
I bought me a bottle in the hope it smells like flowerbomb. Indeed, it smells heavenly, like my beloved flowerbomb. I love it even more than FB. The drydown is some sweeter and not so bitter as flowerbomb.
Lovvvvvvve it.
Lastingpower is very good!!
lamer91 – :
lasts very lost. smells clean (freesia) sweet(vanilla) at first then gets sweeter but not in a synthetic way at all. I like it alot..maybe ill buy it will test again soon
pvi300Negeltzex – :
Finally I got a sample, put it on – oh, what a blessing! Then suddenly my son asked – where’s this smell of wet baby diapers coming from??? Well, it was my wrist… And in a couple of minutes – again wonderful and delicious! Must be litchi I guess. And I so hoped to love it!
TucheReutRifepyyya – :
A much much better version of flowerbomb and a lot cheaper too !!!!
oms.oltkga – :
This fragrance is sooo nice.. It smells like a very good fragrance. wouldn’t have expected it. Bought it without trying before.
It’s such a nice vanilla scent. Not to Sweet, and nice in combination with the Lychee, don’t know about the Freesia, but the whole fragrance is very nice.
Could be a Chanel Fragrance!!!
