Now...I love a Litchi. They are a gorgeous fruit and the thought of a Litchi accord is fascinating to me. This doesn't really get that. I'm smelling a sort of wheatgrass, greenery, and PALM again in the opening, but soft, watery and in spirit, somewhat like a Litchi (IF YOU MUST!) 18 then starts to give a bit more of the alleged cherry blossom accord, but it's not really like that Jo Malone or a Cherry blossom mod a indy perfumer sent to me recently. This is vaguely floral and all the sweetness or mild fruity bouquet that a cherry blossom tree might have is being, kinda offset and papyrused by that neutral, watery, green, palm tree accord. Later it does become much more powdery though and more like the sort of thing I'd expected (quite quickly actually) so the opening is a bit of trickery to make what would be a pretty boring, net curtain and pink valance affair into something with is inkeeping with the others in here. I don't like it, but I don't hate it either, it's inoffensive and the musks are nice giving it an elevated sense of quality I suppose. It's 'aight! Which sums up the whole collection really. I completely understand being underwhelmed or bored by these fragrances but I found something in them. Not much, but something.
