Sweet, agreeable

Banana Republic Dark Cherry & Amber is a 2019 release from the Icon Collection that I blind bought via the grey market and at its pricing ($40 to $45 for 75ml on FragranceNet), it’s a very good deal, a satisfying cherry fragrance with woody and resinous hints.

The cherry is not especially sweet or boozy, nor is it particularly tart, a rather middle-of-the-road, shower-gel-safe, but still interesting cherry expression that smells somewhat authentic yet not completely so. It definitely has the feel of a bath and body type of scent rather than a personal perfume, but that’s okay for casual situations, and the price is reasonable for the product.

Cherry uninteresting

I love a good cherry perfume, so I jumped when I found this one and could barely wait until it arrived. I sprayed it on after a shower expecting some magic, but what I found was a mainstream experience. It’s not a bad fragrance, but after trying Tom Ford Lost Cherry there’s zero comparison.

The cherry is mellow, if anything. It isn’t overly sweet, nor tart. I prefer mine to be sweet and compelling. The longevity is decent, as is sillage. The bottle is pretty, too. It’s just not my liking.

Stunned by This One

This isn't your typical sweet or syrupy cherry. It's darker, moodier, and more seductive. Date night material. My nose or skin may have deceived me, but I picked up a subtle spice in the opening that fades quickly.

What I get most is a deep red cherry. Sweet but not sugary or synthetic. It's wrapped in a soft, dark haze that’s incredibly alluring. It gives off a mysterious aura that would work beautifully on a well-dressed guy. And for $20 at Burlington? Immaculate value.

I blind bought Midnight Hour from Banana Republic and was left very underwhelmed. This time, I played it smart and sampled first. No regrets. I'd absolutely pick up a bottle for nights out or dressed-up occasions. If smell up close to your skin, it becomes ever so slightly gourmand.

It’s the kind of scent that invites people in for a second sniff. Deep, seductive, and sophisticated. Honestly, I’m blown away.

An incredible pickup. Now I just need somewhere to wear it... and someone to wear it for.

Jelly Bean Air Freshener

This fragrance opens with a heavy dose of cherry, that is reminiscent of a (if you have smelt this) jelly bean air freshener. As a kid, I used to love smelling air fresheners for cars, and whenever we went to a car wash, the workers would give us extra air fresheners. The silage is not strong at all, so I usually go for a good amount of sprays for this (as it is cheap, I can always re-purchase). The opening is synthetic, but nothing offensive, I'd say that it is as natural as synthetics can get. I never really get any praline from this fragrance, I just get cherry for around 3-4 hours, and then ending with a sweet vanilla. It's warm and reminds me of barking a marble cake.

If your a fan of cherry, I would recommend picking this up as it is great value for money and good for daily wear.

Cup for price / performance

About 5 minutes after my bottling from sharing arrived, a bottle of my own was in the shopping cart. Mometan for 20 euros at Notino and thus great snapper.

Shelf life is OK. Easily 4-5 hours. At the beginning a bit sweet, but that evaporates quite quickly. After that it smells slightly woody. Praline I smell anyhow not
