Amarena... no rather "Ama-leather-cherry"
I would like to share my impressions of Cherry X after testing it for 2 days now.
The fragrance description of Kai Porten is "Dark, mysterious, seductive and spicy-oriental in the course" and yes, this is 100% true.
The beginning starts directly with a beautiful cherry-almond combination that is by no means too sweet. During my first test, I admittedly had associations with a rather synthetic hubba bubba note, but I couldn't understand this association at all the second time around and found the cherry to be very successful.
As the fragrance progresses, it becomes darker and spicier. I would classify the spice as cinnamon/incense. Furthermore, there is a dark, not silky but still soft wood-leather combination that seems slightly balsamic and resinous and appears dry with the increasing spiciness. At the same time, the fragrance always retains a mild basic sweetness but also has something pungent and sour for me.
All in all, the fragrance is very complex and fulfills its promise of a long-lasting cherry. For me, however, it seems too dense and tightly woven and therefore rather pompous.
Unfortunately, Kai Porten doesn't hit my mark.
Admittedly, I had pre-ordered the fragrance after Oud 31 didn't meet my taste either, but it earned my appreciation.
With Cherry X, I had hoped for something more along the lines of Lost Cherry Eau de Parfum, fruity and gourmand. Instead, an oriental spice comes around the corner here, which takes up the cherry theme for itself.
When Kai Porten says "more pleasing", he certainly doesn't mean "simple" or "mainstream". And I think that's exactly what fans of dark oriental and spicy fragrances will really like.
A word about the bottle and packaging. I think it's very successful.
Admittedly, the packaging is as small as it could be, almost unusually discreet compared to the opulence usually offered by the well-known niche houses. Is it all just cost-cutting? ... Yes, perhaps ... Nevertheless, everything looks high-quality, with attention to detail. The bottle itself is a dainty cube with pleasantly rounded edges that feels great in the hand. High-quality metal plaque and a heavy, well-fitting lid with engraved logo. The "juice" has a beautiful intense coloration, almost amber in color.
Next to many other bottles on the shelf, the Cherry X looks downright tiny, and somehow that makes it stand out again.
