Less cherry than the name suggests
Now I am dedicating more than just a statement to this fragrance, because I think it is somewhat underrated.
Calling a fragrance "Cherry Cherry" naturally raises expectations and not exactly low ones. I was expecting a concentrated load of cherries that would be present throughout the entire fragrance.
But what do you get?
The opening is definitely dominated by the very sweet cherry, which comes across as somewhat synthetic - lollipop-like, but not unpleasant. Lemon and bergamot add fruitiness and freshness.
After a few minutes, the lemon and bergamot are replaced by a floral, herbal candy-like spiciness, but the cherry remains.
The drydown is pleasantly warm, soft and clean thanks to musk and vanilla.
In between, I think I can detect liquorice or star anise from time to time, even if these are not listed.
I can understand that opinions are divided on this fragrance, as it is special and niche.
At the beginning, it reminded me a little of Electric Cherry, which is not particularly popular either, but which I also like (but the price and durability are really bottomless).
I wouldn't pay the RRP for it, but if I ever find it somewhere for little money, I'll buy it.
