A better cherry fragrance?
So this is my first ever bottle of a cherry fragrance. I had tried the Tom Ford line of cherry formulations (Lost Cherry, Cherry Smoke, etc) and I was never really a fan of them. Mostly because the cherry note was simply gone after 2 hours of wearing. Generally speaking, they're always in a bad spot of them being too weak and not bold enough to be date fragrances and yet not subtle enough to be an everyday wear. It's just something you might throw on on an evening at best.
However, Aaron's interpretation completely changed my view on cherry focused formulations. First off, the cherry note lasts from the first moment of spraying to its far dry down. The opening is a little harsh but after a few minutes when it settles down it's extremely nice. The scent profile of this scent is very dark and spicy, probably because of the Thai Oud on the base of the formulation, along with the almonds and dark chocolate which are extremely apparent in this formulation. If you like cherry fragrances as a scent profile and you always wanted them being "darker" and stronger and more bold, this is definitely for you. However do keep in mind this does have Oud in its formulation so it may be challenging for some people. However this is a very beginner oud formulation and from my experience most people seem to like the way it smells.
Now for performance, as usual with Aaron's work, it's extremely long lasting and extremely projecting. I had a spray on my arm yesterday at around the afternoon part of the day, and the thing is still on my arm and its not even a skin scent yet. In terms of projection, it's very airy and there's a wall of fragrance around you. I wouldn't say its absolutely room filling but 6ft projection is good enough for most people. Especially with the type of scent this is.
Overall, if you like the scent profile and Oud/Spice type scents this is definitely for you.
