It's always astonishing how differently fragrances are rated here. Is it due to the brands or what exactly?
There are sweet scents that should be (in my opinion) banned, yet they are still hyped. Others, on the other hand, are not as bad as they are portrayed here. And the third type of fragrances resembles highly rated scents but still gets bashed.
I have a theory about that.... but that's not what this is about.
First of all
The scent:
Starts with a sweet raspberry cream note. Yes, sweet and somewhat artificially light. But that doesn't bother here, as the raspberry quickly gives way to a tart, zesty blackcurrant that passionately wafts in with dark spicy vanilla.
Then the sweetness becomes softer and finer, transforming into cream and acquiring a slight caramelized almond touch.
Rose and jasmine? They seem to have hidden well, but that’s okay.
This scent is also well crafted. It remains dark, smoky, creamy sweet until it disappears. However, a sweet warmth keeps wafting towards me, which is quite pleasant.
Unlike some other fragrances, you can really discern a scent progression here. I think. I smell. I believe.
Sillage? Not really booming, but detectable for over 8 hours within 20 cm.
A well-made sweet cream scent. Not a headache-inducing candidate and certainly not cheap-smelling. A fragrance that is truly meant for the masses, but suitable for ages 28 and up. More for evenings and going out. And made for the cooler nights.
Conclusion:
Better than its reputation.
Creamy without a cardboard effect. Not a headache candidate with a very pleasant finish. A scent for sweet noses that appreciate a creamy fragrance.
Nice comment! #Gelis. I don't smell any cherry. The fruity note doesn't scream anything specific, which is better. It's quite nice, and the sweetness is well balanced by blackcurrant and the unmentioned wormwood. I'm not a gourmand lover, but I can wear it well. Cheers!
Honestly, I have a theory about that too ;) Maybe we have the same one... but that's a bit too far here. I think it's great that you still form your own opinion about it.

I think many people don't give a fragrance a chance if it reminds them too much of some already existing scents. That can be boring, and they don't see anything interesting in it. The only solution is to still test it out and maybe be surprised!
