Amazing
This smells fantastic... It is one of my all time favourites from the house of Aaron Terence Hughes. Sillage is huge for the first 2-3 hours for me, quite a monster, then goes to arms length. This scent lasts forever too, I can still smell it on me the following day! This is very much unisex, maybe just so ever slightly leaning feminine.

It opens with this beautifully sweet, juicy and rather fruity cherry. It is bright and loud. Much better than the original Raw cherry in my opinion as this doesn't have that booziness to it, instead just very vibrant and juicy, almost as though you could eat it. As the scent continues to develop on the skin, the oud does come through but in a non overpowering way. It really compliments the sweetness of the fragrance and helps to balance it out. Aaron is very clever with how he uses oud in his fragrances and it compliments the scent so well. This is much better suited to someone who perhaps is new to oud and wants an easier wearing version of it.

Overall, a really nice strong and sweet cherry/oud fragrance that is easy to wear, and gets a lot of compliments. Quite sad it has been discontinued so I only use this now for really special occasions :(

Sweet Cherries with a Dark Soul
Juicy, ripe cherries meet a dark, spicy base. The scent is intense and sweet, almost liqueur-like, but with enough depth to avoid being tacky. A true statement that remains seductive and mysterious (I think due to the oud). Fruity cherry high on steroids

As for longevity and sillage, I can only say that it is impressive. Like a long, red thread that stays present all day.

About like a maraschino cherry :)

The holy grail of cherry scents. Dark, masculine, seductive, and without annoying synthetics. Strong H/S

Aaron discovered the cherry from Tom Ford!
(Deep) Black cherry, bittersweet, vanilla, wood, oud. Warm, deep, and darkly intertwined.

Great sandalwood black cherry opening that feels very natural. Then transitions to a sweetly soft fresh cherry oud with a fizzy note.

The Mon-Chéri of cherry scents. Perfect interplay with chocolate and a hint of plum.

Great, dark liqueur cherry with dark chocolate. Dark, deep, and mysterious
No other cherry scent is needed.

Very natural cherry scent with a bit more sweetness, floral notes, and longevity compared to "Raw Cherry | Aaron Terence Hughes."

Incredibly rare perfume. Cherry, plum, and a chocolate punch with a hint of citrus! Unfortunately, it's almost too precious and too rare to wear.

Smells like a dry cherry sweater without any real wow effect. Unfortunately, not really my thing. Definitely should be tested first.
