Wonderful Winter Scent - Korres Vanilla Freesia Lychee


Korres Vanilla Freesia Lychee 50ml RRP £24


Korres, as I’m sure you know, is a Greek cosmetics company with an ethos entirely natural, creating a variety of natural beauty products on a base of homeopathy, hence this naturally scented and naturally named eau de toilette. For me, the initial attraction is to a perfume free from parabens, mineral oil, silicones and ethanolamines, but then I discovered the scent, which is quite wonderful, frankly! I had been slightly concerned that the vanilla would be of that sickly sweet culinary variety, which at first makes you want to eat the product, but soon becomes less appealing. Not so! Although there is something rather appetizing about the scent, the dusky smoky freesia notes prevent it from being overtly foody, while the lychee adds a fruity vibrancy to the mix. This is a grown-up lasting scent which subtly caresses the skin, rather than imposing itself on the rest of the room.
    Top Notes: Bergamot, Tea

    Heart Notes: Jasmine, Peach, Lychee, Freesia, Sandalwood

    Bottom Notes: Vanilla, Patchouli, Musk
