Lucky last in the Chi Chi Meet The Girls (2) Fragrance collection, and another interesting one. I have to give kudos to whoever is coming up with these scent combinations - of course the possibilities are endless, but let's face it - some things go together, and some things don't, and I reckon the "nose" at Chi Chi is doing a pretty good job of formulating a whole bunch of fun and flirty fragrances that will appeal to what must be a massively wide audience...
Ok so this little summery sweetheart sounded like a cocktail delight, and it sure is delish, but not quite as zingy as I'd hoped. I adore the smell of fresh cut limes, but not so crazy about coconut (which I LOVE to eat by the way), so I'm kinda in the middle with this one. Initially there's lots and LOTS of lime (yay!), but the zestiness fades pretty quickly, and the coconut starts to get the upper hand. There's a shift from being crisp and tangy and fruity to downright sugary sweet (probably best described as coconut fairy floss), which is still lovely, and especially appealing if you're a coconutophile. Being a fruit fragrance fan though, I'd just rather the lime content lasted a whole lot longer. After half an hour, the sugar floss content dissipates, and my nose picks up pure toasted coconut, and it stays that way for roughly another hour and a half. In short, if coconut is your thing, you'll be blissing out ♥
Well done Chi Chi! Fingers crossed there'll be more of these collections in the future. Of course I'm champing at the bit to see which ones from this latest set will be released in large bottles ♥
My faves from this set? Pink Grapefruit, Strawberry & Violet, and Warm Vanilla Sugar. Blueberry is up there too, but my heart well and truly belongs to Tutti Frutti - holey socks Batman, I would buy this by the bucket load!

ReplyDeleteGee thanks hon - I always wear a fragrance at least 3 times before I review it, skin chemistry can change from one hour to the next xxx
DeleteI am loving this whole collection Kat (thanks again for my prize!). I love the fresh zing of the lime in this. And I agree, Tutti Frutti is amazeballs!
ReplyDeleteHey there Di - so glad you're enjoying your prize, and delighted to share a Tutti Frutti bond with you ♡♡♡
DeleteHun I've enjoyed this Chi Chi fragrance series. I get so caught up in your amazing reviews xx
ReplyDeleteIndie darling - thanks for letting me know these have been an entertaining read for you. I'm crazy about perfume so there'll be lots more reviews in future ♡x♡
DeleteI keep forgetting to look for this set when I'm out. There's a few I'm keen to try. I like coconut more than lime. This particular one might not be up my alley (or should I say nostril?), but there are a few other must-haves for me. Great descriptions, as the others have said. Scent is difficult to put into words.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great set hon, even if your schnozz is not entranced by the sound of all them ♥. As always, thanks for your beaut comments, hope the reviews are helpful xxx
DeleteI am soooo disappointed that Chi Chi discontinued the ‘Lime & Coconut’ perfume. I had bought 2 bottles at a time & forever had compliments of how I smelled. I LOVE it. If you have any bottles left please let me
ReplyDeleteKnow!!
