If it weren't for the musk...

...this would be exactly my cherry scent.

The opening with the proven cherry-almond combination is intensified by the saffron and really beautifully accompanied. The cherry is supported by the sparkling notes of berry and rose and is therefore permanently present without being too squeaky-sweet and artificial. Well, and the base could be a dream: the resinous sweetness and patchouli harmonize beautifully with the cherry, again without bringing in too much sweetness. And now comes the big BUT, which unfortunately ruins everything for me and that is the musk.

Musk is always a gamble for my skin chemistry and my nose. Musk - especially in the base - can develop almost imperceptibly on me and simply develop a nice cozy softness without being smellable to me. However, musk can also develop a sterile peak on my skin that puts the most intense washing powder in the shade.
And unfortunately, the latter is precisely the case here, the musk is permanently pervasive and does not go at all well with the grandiose fragrance composition.
At this point, please don't give me the argument that contrasts are what make a fragrance exciting. Because yes, for me, not everything always has to harmonize perfectly; I can certainly appreciate rough edges in a fragrance. But the musk spanks the cherry on my skin in such an unpalatable way that I unfortunately have to say goodbye to my dream of the perfect cherry fragrance.
