Not What I Was Expecting
For a perfume named "Latte di Cherry," it has a disappointing lack of both creaminess and cherry. Upon first spray, this perfume opens with a super loud, almost cough syrup cherry. The jasmine note quickly follows and becomes the dominant scent for the rest of time, with only hints of creaminess from the almond and vanilla. As it dries down, the perfume becomes something reminiscent of Hypnotic Poison. Something about the combination of jasmine, vanilla, almond, and sandalwood really evokes the rootbeer-like quality of Hypnotic Poison, but it isn't unpleasant.
Ultimately, this perfume is not what I wanted it to be. I was hoping that the red berries and cherry would be front and center, and that the vanilla and sandalwood would provide the creamy latte element mentioned in its name. Instead, it's primarily a jasmine perfume. That's not a bad thing, but it certainly was not what I was expecting out of Latte di Cherry. If I had wanted a jasmine forward perfume, there are other options I would have reached for first.
