Korres Vanilla Freesia Lychee is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011. Vanilla Freesia Lychee opens with Bergamot and Tea, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Jasmine, Freesia, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Korres's Vanilla Freesia Lychee carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This much-loved Korres scent is largely hailed as a 'dupe' for Flowerbomb, offering a lighter, fresher take on the popular vanilla-patchouli gourmand. It's a consensus crowd-pleaser that’s sweet and approachable, though some find the performance leaves a lot to be desired.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Vanilla Freesia Lychee opens with a bright, fruity burst of lychee and peach, uplifted by a hint of bergamot and tea. The heart blossoms into a soft floral bouquet of freesia and jasmine, balanced by the creamy warmth of sandalwood. The dry down settles into a sweet, cozy vanilla infused with a subtle, earthy patchouli and clean musk, creating a gentle and inviting gourmand experience.
