Vicebomb Simone Andreoli 2023

What a scent! A real surprise for me, as I usually struggle with fruity fragrances, but I was determined to find a cherry scent that wasn't too marzipan-like, too synthetic, or too sweet.
My sample arrived, and it was love at first sniff.

The fragrance starts off slightly cherry liqueur-like, which quickly develops into a delightful little cherry fruit acidity that makes my mouth water and keeps me from moving away from my wrist.
This cheeky cherry is nestled in a wonderful caramel sweetness that reminded me of the caramel in "Rendez-vous à Milan | Montale." However, the sweetness is not sticky, but warm and sensual.
As it progresses, the scent becomes a bit softer and more cuddly, but not noticeably so for me or those around me.
The cheeky fruitiness takes a step back and merges with the warm dark sweetness into a hug that has an almost erotic aura.

The scent lasts on my skin for about 8-10 hours, with projection becoming a bit less after about 4 hours. I can imagine it more in the cooler months, but I will also do a summer date night test when it gets warmer again.

I see the fragrance more on a woman. A seductive, confident, strong woman who knows what she wants.

A clear candidate for purchase, a very unusual scent with high recognizability that will soon find a permanent place in my collection.

Thanks for reading! To all Femme Fatales: get this scent. Even though it is quite different, it gives me the same sexiness as, for example, Hypnotic Poison Eau de Toilette or "Dior Addict (2014) (Eau de Parfum) | Dior," just with this cheeky cherry.
