Lucky last in this set - Chi Chi Persimmon EDP, and a personal favourite of mine. It's actually the only one I've had in my collection for over 12 months, and have been wearing consistently. I reviewed it last July in Part 2 of the Winter Fragrances series - loved it then, and I love it now. Used to be my numero uno of the Chi Chi fruity perfumes, but it's getting some serious competition from the Peach & Mango, which lasts a lot longer. But Persimmon isn't quite as sweet - I'm putting that down to the guava and citrus (grapefruit?) content, which gives it some tartness to balance out the mango and papaya notes...
No idea how they came up with the name of Persimmon though - that particular fruit isn't listed as an ingredient, but there's no peach or mango in the Peach & Mango either lol, and what does it matter hey, so long as you enjoy the end result...
This little delight only lasts a couple of hours on my skin, possibly because it doesn't contain any of the usual staying-power bases like amber or sandalwood, but while it's there, it's fabulous - a veritable feast for the senses, and one I will continue to indulge in once the regular sized bottle runs out, which isn't far away. You'll find my beautyheaven 5-star review of it here ♥
Take care of you,

ReplyDeleteRight up your alley Candy - do have sniff if you get a chance hon ♥ Before they brought out the new range, this was the ONLY one that grabbed me - and I was a goner, I just HAD to have it lol xxx

Hi gorgeous, what a treat to read all your comments thanks hon and so happy you've been enjoying my little fragrance festival.
DeleteThere's bound to be at least one that you'll just adore - would love to know which one you choose ♡
I've been enjoying the reviews too. I didn't find Peach & Mango long-lasting, but I could pick out the peach & the mango.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to get that Sugar & Spice. For me the Marshmallow & the Sugar & Spice are the picks of the bunch. YUM!
Great news Neurotic - its Marshmallow and Sugar & Spice for me too, tempted by the Candy Apple but I'll probably pass cos I'm quite literally running out of room. I'll restock the Persimmon, already have the Peach & Mango, so that's 4 out of the 8 for moi ♡
