Exotic Lychee
Angel Schlesser Exotic Lychee Eau de Toilette 100ml runs on three materials, and anyone who has ever found a fragrance exhausting to follow will understand why that is a selling point rather than a shortcoming. Lychee is the lead and it is a strange fruit to bottle. The smell is sweet and floral and faintly soapy, closer to a white flower steeped in syrup than to anything you would call tropical, and it carries a slight artificiality even when it is done well, which is simply what lychee smells like. Here it is kept bright and clean.
Green tea sits against it and does the correcting. It is dry and slightly astringent, more leaf than drink, with a bitterness that pulls the fruit back from sugar every time it starts to drift. Musk holds the pair together and gives them somewhere to settle, soft and skin warm, so that after the first hour the whole thing reads as one smell rather than three. Expect a light, clean wear of moderate length, which is what an eau de toilette of this construction will give you. There is no point looking for a dramatic base because there is not one, and the fragrance is honest about that from the start. It leans feminine, it is at its best in warm weather and daylight, and it is easy enough for an office or a long day where something heavier would become tiring.
Minimalism is the whole case for the Madrid house behind this, and a three material fragrance makes that point more literally than any garment could. Angel Schlesser was one of the designers who founded ACME in Spain, and the label has been part of the Pasarela Cibeles from 1988. Perfume followed in 1999.
