Perfumed fruit, on ice
Lychee is the kind of fruit you have to grow up around to find familiar. The flavour reads perfumed, floral, slightly grape-adjacent — but with a clearer top note than grape. In Cantonese cuisine, lychee shows up in desserts, jellies, and, famously, cocktails (the lychee martini owes its existence to this fruit).
This Dash 4000 leans into the floral character and adds a clean chill on the exhale. The result reads closer to a cold lychee cocktail than to a fresh lychee.

What people ask
Will the floral element read as soapy?
It’s the most common worry with lychee flavours, and the Dash 4000 version stays clear of it. The floral note is present but stops well short of perfumey.
How does this compare to Pink Guava?
Pink Guava is fuller, sweeter, and has no ice. Lychee Ice is lighter, more perfumed, and chilled.
Where lychee gets its perfume？
Lychee (Litchi chinensis) has been cultivated in southern China since the Tang dynasty — the most famous historical reference is the imperial concubine Yang Guifei, for whom couriers reportedly raced relays of horses to deliver fresh lychee to the palace. The flavour’s hallmark is a small group of floral aroma compounds, particularly cis-rose oxide, which give lychee its signature rose-and-grape perfume — the same compound found in Gewürztraminer wine. This vape captures the perfume cleanly: floral up front, grape-like sweetness in the middle, a small white-flesh juiciness in the finish. The Ice element pushes the floral notes higher instead of masking them.
