As promised here is review #1 of the Chi Chi "Meet the Girls" EDP sprays set I bought on special the other day at Myer. Thought I'd start with one I already know (and love), and I even had a big bottle of it tucked way, just waiting for a space on my perfume shelf (which is starting to sag lol)...
Adore this sparkling zesty fragrance, although to me it smells more like passionfruit than Peach & Mango. But hey, we all know that the sense of smell is so personal and subjective, and I sure don't care that my nose picks up something different to what's on the label - I adore the scent of passionfruit anyway! The first spray is positively mind-blowing, an absolute explosion of juicy fruit sweetness, but in a matter of minutes, it fades down to something more manageable in enclosed spaces...
It's just perfect for hot Summer weather - cooling and unbelievably refreshing, and it doesn't last more than three hours on my skin, which is my preference for steamy days. The ingredients list contains no natural products other than water, but it doesn't smell fake at all, and there's no need to be concerned with it staining your clothing - it's just the glass that's coloured orange, the liquid itself is clear.
The bottle has a classic almost antique look to it, but there's not one thing old about this little gem. It apparently contains bergamot, mandarin, amber and sandalwood, but I really can't detect any base notes - all I can smell is fruit, fruit and more fruit ha ha!
Love it to the moon and back. Of all the fruity scents in this collection, this is my favourite - tropical girly fun ♥
Take care of you,

Ok, I need this perfume! The full size bottle is gorgeous. Great review, hun xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Indie - I can't imagine you not jumping for joy over this fragrance hon, it's just such a fruity beauty ♥
DeleteOh wow! Sounds lovely. Perfect for a tropical summer. I'll keep my eyes peeled for these.
ReplyDeleteIndeed Rose, one of the bh gals wrote in their review that it's like "Summer in a bottle", and it's so very true ♥
DeleteThis is my all-time favourite! I actually keep the perfume bottle in my handbag and use it daily! xx

Hey Jasmine, well I can very well understand why you love it so much - it's just the happiest most mouthwatering fragrance ever!
DeleteThis doesn't last long on my skin either. I bought a gift pack containing the perfume, a body wash & a body lotion. Unfortunately layering doesn't help much. I don't own enough atomisers for every single perfume I own, so instead of reapplying, I just squirt it like mad when I get out of the shower. It's cheap enough to do this & it's never overpowering by the time I walk out the door. Maybe I should buy a few cheap little purse atomisers?
ReplyDeleteI bought the same pack hon! Was disappointed with the shower gel (you know me and shower gels) - not the same fragrance, and nowhere near as potent, haven't tried the body lotion yet. Priceline sells a good little atomiser for $11.99 - I have several of them and they work just fine, it's even available online:

I also have a few Travalos, but they're around the $20 mark...
