Lychee Formula

An In-Depth Formula & Guide for the Aspiring Perfumer.
A Vanitas Parfums Project  – Volume 8: Lychee

Sadly, as there is no natural lychee extract available for use in perfumery, this formula has been carefully developed to authentically recreate the aroma of ripe lychee through a precise selection of aroma chemicals and natural materials. At the heart of this composition lies Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol, instantly recognisable as rose water, or pink rose petals. This is complemented by Geranium Absolute, Pelargene, Neomagnolan, and Lychee Mercaptan Acetate, each contributing distinctive facets, ranging from the metallic green, vibrant lychee, to the sulphurous juicy tropical notes.

Together, these materials form the core framework to build from, accurately capturing the multi-layered, succulent profile of fresh lychee. The resulting accord is naturalistic and fruity, amplifying the sweet, rosy, and metallic aspects of lychee without veering into candy-like territory, and offers a faithful recreation of the fruit.

Please note that these formulas may be periodically updated to incorporate improvements, adjustments, or newly acquired insights. Anyone who has previously purchased this eBook prior to an update will be eligible to download the latest version of the formula at no additional cost.
