Cherries In Church
I'm unfamiliar with any of the perfumes this is supposed to dupe, so here is my opinion completely detached from that context:
The first hit is a almost sickly artificial cherry note, heady and sweet. Soon it merges into a more creamy amaretto with a distinct marzipan edge. The cherry sticks around as the real heart of this fragrance comes forward: frankincense, dark and resinous, backed by woody notes I'm still too much of a noob to actually distinguish properly.
I'm personally not fond of cherry in fragrances, so for me the real beauty of this is in the drydown. The frankincense and wood base lasts the whole day, in particular on clothing. After 6+ hours, all that's left of that initial cloud of cherry is a faint hint of marzipan. The incense, though, is delicious, and the reason I've been enjoying La Collection D'Antiquités 1505 despite my indifference to the top notes.
A well-crafted fragrance that I won't rebuy as a full bottle simply because I don't care about the cherry aspect. To me, it reads as a true unisex scent, perfect for the colder seasons.
