Delicious cherry liquor
The opening of this fragance is gorgeous! It is like a cherry liqour mixed with the smell of the cherry bubblegums that i had when i was a child. The cherry is very noticeable, but totally different to other cherry fragances, for example Lost cherry by Tom Ford, which is much more gourmand and sweeter,; intense cherry by montale, much more floral; or B by Blood concept, woodier and more alcoholic. Café chantant is a very subtle fragance... Sweet but elegant. Soon the cherry liquor goes down and It appears a more noticeable laurel and a powdery flower vibe, with the iris and the heliotrope as main actors. The sweet background with the vanilla, benzoin and a very subtle musk give to the perfume some more intensity and increase a bit his longevity. The Woody character of the patchouli is for me very very subtle as Well. The dry down makes me remember the Air freshner that the company blanco (already Closed) used in his stores.

The performance is just average. Average longevity and not very strong sillage, what gives more versatility to this fórmula and makes this perfume suitable for everyday use un almost any condición. I find It unisex but i think that probably women Will use It more than men.

Great alternative to Cuir Beluga
Well damn. I have been obsessing and saving up for a bottle of Cuir Beluga for months and had seen this as a dupe and thought there’s no way they smell similar, they have different notes, they’re probably just slightly reminiscent of each other. Tested this today and thought oh, this is Cuir Beluga with cherries. It’s absolutely delightful, very sweet and powdery but does not smell like food, it’s clean, cozy, and put-together, mature and elegant but not old fashioned. I’m stubborn enough to keep saving up for Cuir Beluga only because I have had my heart set on it for a while, and I do prefer the lack of cherry in that one, but this is such a fantastic alternative. Lasts really long and projects nicely too, overall super impressive.

Right away, this reminded me of Dior’s Hypnotic Poison — it’s sweet, powdery/irisy, and playdohy. However, there’s a noticeable sweet & slightly medicinal cherry that remains throughout that makes it smell sweeter and more fun, though it’s definitely still powdery & playdohy. So imagine Hypnotic Poison but with a cough syrupy cherry twist.

I love this!! I’ve smelled tons of fragrances that share the same sort of DNA to Hypnotic Poison (JHAG MMMM, Kenzo Amour, Police to be Rose Blossom, Babe Powder, Valentino Poudree, Zara Femme) and I can definitely say that this is my favorite out of the bunch cuz of how unique the cherry made this perfume smell (at least as unique as it can be with this type of DNA).

POWDERED SUGAR AND PATCHOULI: A VINTAGE CONFECTIONARY DREAM
This fragrance is like taking a bite of a buttery, flaky pastry, fresh out of the oven — warm, comforting, and utterly delightful. The cherry, almond, and vanilla notes are prominent, blending together like a decadent dessert you’d find in a French patisserie. It’s sweet but not overwhelming, with just the right touch of elegance. The vanilla here is gentle and almost marshmallow-y, like a fluffy confection dusted with powdered sugar, perfect for someone who likes their sweetness served with class.

Iris and heliotrope bring a refined powdery touch, creating a sophisticated aura reminiscent of vintage cosmetics. It’s like stepping into Marie Antoinette’s boudoir, where an air of delicate powders drifts gently, and elegant ladies in pink silk lingerie and powdered wigs indulge in fluffy pastries and dainty confections.

This fragrance is polite, well-blended, and impeccably refined — nothing too loud or showy. The projection is soft, making it the kind of scent you wear when you want to leave a trace without announcing your presence. It’s long-lasting, sticking around without being clingy, and it evolves beautifully over time.

In the deep drydown, patchouli makes an appearance, but it’s not the bold, earthy kind you might expect. It is warm, sweet, and surprisingly soft. It’s like the fragrance has taken you on a journey from light, airy sweetness to a more grounded, comforting depth.

a trip back to 1997
A lovely powdery soft almond heliotrope whiff of nostalgia with a taste of cherry. This cherry is the chapstick cherry we used to smell in the 1990's. i sprayed this again after a while and thought i smelled amber but it was the mix of the cherry chapstick smell and star anise mixed with benzoin. Its nice but not legendary. sometimes you need to smell a perfume more than once and years later to make a more calculated opinion. in all its a lovely soft cherry gourmand scent not overly food heavy closer to a shampoo i have.

Opens exactly like cuir beluga. Touch of cherry, then hums along as a bakery scent. Very nice.

smells like a cherry pop tart to me, a medicinal, powdery, cherry pop tart.

Cosy vanilla, a tiny bit of cherry in the beginning and a LOT like Cuir Beluga

No cherry, but very sweet, fruity, slightly resinous vanilla. I’m not singing along in the café.

For me, neither gourmand nor a coffee house
A bit of vanilla with muffin
Some patchouli paired with floral notes
Nothing stands out*
