Another gabbana another disappointment
The gorgeous bottle made me obsessed and was desperately trying to get a tester to try - as i now avoid blind buying any gabbana flankers because of many disappointments especially linked to their mediocre performance - and this one was quite expensive to say the least.

I finally could get my hands on this one (i ordered a tester), and was happy i didn't purchase it. It smells exactly like my hands soap that costs 4€ (Baylis&Harding The Edit Cherry Temptation). The cherry here while pleasant and lightweight, is nothing new; any cheaper alternatives of cherry for 5€ would smell the same and the cherry here takes the lead for the first 20min (we only smell it). With a barely perceptible sillage (no projection at all).

After cherry disappears, you directly sense a weird mix of poorly blended jasmine/vanilla (it remains a skin scent) ; it's like the intense a version in the dry down where we can still sense a little cherry in the mixture, you take that and remove the cherry.

Overall the longevity is approximately of an hour on skin, with a mediocre projection for 10 min before becoming a skin scent. Overall this fragrance despite of its magnificient bottle, is ridiculously overpriced and so not worth it. I found it to be a waste of money even if you absolutely adore cherry scents; i'm sure better alternative out there exist for cheaper price, there is absolutely nothing extraordinary (either the scent with the simple cherry smell or its performance) about this fragrance.

Most delicious candied cherry!
Very delicious and sexy candied cherry with a touch of vanilla and jasmine. I absolutely LOVE the candied cherry note!! It comes out super strong at first, but it does fade out rather quickly compared to other fragrances (on my skin at least), leaving a soft mix of the cherry and vanilla dry-down. Maybe some people will find the bottle design tacky, but I do like the crown design and the dark red colour for it!

Disappointment
This gets closer to the deep, boozy fall cherry I love - but then swerves right past sweet and into soapy. I like jasmine in perfumes, even in regular Q, but it feels strangely out of place here, like I wore a floral cotton sundress to a dinner soiree. The drydown develops a little more into a richer, thicker (yet slightly astringent) floral layered with cherry, but it's missing something -- ginger, clove, or anise could have gone well here. I feel like you really lose the cherry in the drydown as time goes on and it becomes a strong white floral when it starts as a boozy fruity night on the town.

The identity crisis this perfume has lasts through every note, and while it's lovely scented overall, I have no idea when to wear this; a cocktail brunch? High formal tea? It's not everyday but it's not night out, so perhaps a wedding. I'm so glad I didn't blind buy this like I'd planned, and snapped up a sample instead. Designer flankers often suffer from this, I feel -- caught between making the original a different vibe, different enough to purchase, but still close enough to use the association, and this time, I think they gambled and lost.

If the original Oscar by Oscar de la Renta ever had a cherry flanker, this could have been it. It probably would have been better than this because of the clove in the drydown, but still, it has those vibes, only airier.

Sillage is arms length, and longevity is decent.

Autumnal Cherry
The Q Parfum is very similar to its predecessor, the Q Intense. You can clearly see the family resemblance.

While the Q Intense has a light, airy character that fits wonderfully into the spring and summer months, Dolce&Gabbana delivers a denser, deeper, and warmer cherry scent with the parfum variant that is perfect for the other half of the year.

In the Q Parfum, the cherry is perfectly realized, and in my opinion, it is one of the best cherry fragrances I have ever smelled.

The cherry here is sweet, not sour. It is layered with blossoms and is accompanied by warmer vanilla as it develops. The vanilla takes the lead in the base, and the scent fades out softly creamy.

The smoky note described by others only occasionally comes through for me and is (at least for me) rather dependent on the day. Still, please don't be put off. Even when the smoky note appears, it is subtle and accompanies the fragrance without disturbing it.

The longevity and sillage are decent. Not a monster, but also not a mere whisper. Just right for me.

Conclusion: Anyone who likes the Q EDP or the Q Intense should definitely try this variant in autumn/winter.

Solid Smoky Cherry
It starts with subtly sweet candied cherry, right from the beginning with a hint of smoke.
Cherry is, as always with the perfumes I know, rather synthetic, like cherry flavor from yogurt, etc. Still beautiful. With "Q," it somehow feels very soft, gentle, and unobtrusive.
The smoke becomes stronger within the next 30 minutes, jasmine is only faintly detectable in the background. Vanilla is not present for me at all; instead, I smell slightly sweet, woody notes.
Overall, it smelled like a very noble, high-quality cherry incense stick.

It's very sour in the beginning (what candied cherry?) and disappears without a trace. Saying it as a big fan of D&G... Not worth it.

The slightly tipsy cherry
and the green jasmine
wrestle back and forth
over who the queen is
but shhh says the vanilla softly
When 2 meet ..

Cherry is briefly noticeable at first, then a great balance follows between fresh-floral and warm-gourmand
I like it

Finally a cherry that has little to do with Amarena/bitter almond. Carefree and suitable for everyday use. Worth a try!

I smell Câline "Madame Chérie" and thus Lost Cherry, with better H/S. Very beautiful bottle, warmest flanker from the Q series.

This is the winter version of Q Intense for me. Great, sweet cherry with a subtle, smoky note.

Almond meets heliotrope, a soft opening.
Then it blossoms - cherry-like, fruity, creamy sweet. Artificial? Maybe! But comforting.

I can't get any cherry at all. Very floral, with a sharp off-note. Too bad, the Q Intense is so nice, this one is really out of place.

Starts as a chlorinated cherry, then transforms into a warm, unsweet cherry, later slightly vanillic. Interesting!
