Cherry Bouquet Afnan Perfumes 2024

I smell lost cherry here, but a little more syurpy. It has that cool cherry, a slight boosiness, but a bit more sweetness. It does not have the darkness of lost cherry and it has a bit less depth. Lost cherry has a bit more tartness whilst this has a bit more syurpy sweetness. It is simply a tiny bit more candy and not as actual cherry. I do like it though, the sweety dry downs both line up quite well but I do think this is a bit on the brighter sweeter side whilst lost cherry has a tiny bit of darkness to it. Overall I think you're be happy with it if you like cherry, it is extremely central in the scent profile. I have it mostly for layering when I feel a little cherry might be nice.

Perfectly blended in my opinion, even the dry down is marvellous, the initial spray top note of cherry (albeit synthetic leaning) is ok. Five minutes later it is the perfect blend of cherry/liqueur/sweet gourmand. Good lasting power as well. I can't get over the beauty of the dry down. P.S Those who don't like cherry scents might want to try instore first. I was one of you, but when i tried it i couldn't get it out of my mind. Score 9/10

must climb high! Yes, when it comes to the cherry tree (it reminds me of my childhood, where we eagerly enjoyed them in the south) But regarding the price of such fragrances, one doesn’t necessarily have to take the last rungs of the ladder. It goes much deeper down in the price segment. Remarkable.

Yes, I know. The topic of cherry has been rolled over and over here, and I personally felt that it was time to stop with all the cherry stuff. But then something unpredictable happened again. A cherry scent quietly entered the collection. Quite by chance, without any ulterior motive, and left behind a significant crater of astonishment, but also of affection.

Cherry Bouquet is of course inspired, how could it be otherwise, by Lost Cherry, but it is not only noticeably more drinkable and stronger than the TF, but also significantly more pleasant. It not only lasts comfortably throughout the day, but it doesn’t even annoy, as the sweetness of the fragrance is so smoothly and well distributed that you only feel it gently at the nape of your neck (unless you go overboard with the application)

Cherry Bouquet starts fruity fresh, with a rich, aromatic cherry that lets you gaze deep into the glass of desire. Almond is very smooth in the background, covered by a luscious cherry liqueur note. Everything is finely layered on warm plum cake. A hint of earthy patchouli at the core, a sprinkle of spices on top, and you have a really good, fruity fragrance.

The cherry is, of course, perfected from beginning to end, always present. Until the last breath. Longevity and sillage are quite lengthy, but they don’t overwhelm you. The bottle itself is of good quality, comes in a fiery red box. For the few bucks, you can’t go wrong. On the contrary. The surroundings reacted positively, some almost euphorically, and were astonished at what the whole thing actually costs.

Once again, cherry. A note that I really like and is quite hyped and well-received. It feels like every brand has a cherry scent, of course also in the Arab world. There, the sales figures are considered for the dupes, and the concept is based on "Lost Cherry (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford." Great alternatives are of course warmly welcomed at these prices for the rather moderate longevity. There are really good alternatives on the market, even cheaper than this Afnan, e.g. the dupe from Maison Alhambra, Zukhruf Cherry or "Madame Chérie | Câline." I own several cherry scents, and my favorites are Duchessa and "Melting Lust | Emil Élise," which are a bit more expensive and have a different twist. I can recommend all the cheapies mentioned above. This Afnan also has a lot to offer and provides a great gourmand cherry.

The recommended retail price is around €40 according to the Afnan website. In German shops, this Cherry Bouquet is available for between €30 and €40 for 80ml. It's a bit higher priced compared to the other dupes, but still affordable. Again labeled as a women's fragrance, men can also go for it if they are fans of the Lost Cherry DNA. Otherwise, this cherry sweetness is of course more feminine than masculine.
The bottle and packaging are really good. The beautiful packaging somewhat resembles niche fragrances, and the bottle is also really nice with this red-gold combination. You have to press a bit harder to spray, but otherwise, I have nothing to complain about.
In terms of scent, this fragrance is a bit more gourmand. The complex cherry note at the start is really lovely. The notes of the top note are very well detectable: a slightly darker black cherry, a sour cherry, a gourmand almond note, and a soft cherry liqueur note. The liqueur is not very boozy, but this note has a slight touch. The cherry combo is harmonious with these fruity-sweet cherries. It doesn't have that typical shisha tobacco style that some dupes of this TF exhibit. The gourmand almond keeps it soft & pleasant. Other red fruits like raspberry and a slight plum touch follow. However, the cherries clearly take center stage for the first 2-3 hours. Vanilla provides a great gourmand note throughout. I would have also guessed tonka for this sweet creaminess, but it's not listed in the pyramid. In the drydown, woody notes come in, gently fading the scent away. Overall, it's very harmonious, modern, and also sensual. This is wearable in everyday life, leisure, and all other occasions.
The performance is already in the medium range. The sillage during the first cherry hours is really good, but then it pulls back a bit. However, it remains somewhat close to the skin. Longevity should be around 6-7 hours.

Overall, a really great fragrance and a wonderful alternative to Lost Cherry. Even though this is a bit more expensive for a dupe, this small extra cost is worth it.

I ordered Cherry Bouquet for my wife because she was looking for something fruity. Admittedly, I also wanted to try a cherry scent myself..

And what can I say? We were not disappointed. We wanted cherry and we got cherry.

Cherry Bouquet is black cherry. The cherry is present from the very beginning, but not unpleasantly so. Still, I think you have to like cherry, because otherwise it can definitely be too much. One must assume that this scent stands out, positively and perhaps even negatively, as it can cause headaches for some people.

My wife loves wearing Afnan Cherry Bouquet and I really like it on her too. When she applies the perfume and goes to work before I come home from duty, I can still perceive the scent in the house hours later, so strong and present it is. A few sprays are enough to leave a noticeable and long-lasting scent trail.

I find the scent sensuous in a certain way, but I can't quite describe what leads me to that description. You definitely have to try the scent to know if it’s something for you. It’s not a super exciting scent that immediately captivates you. I find the scent quite simple, but still quite beautiful and fruity.

In general, I personally prefer "softer" scents, but as a change and to wear something really fruity, this is a great alternative.

So, whoever likes cherry, gets cherry here that is just begging to be bitten into.
