This fragrance isn’t a heavy gourmand and leans more refined. It’s not overly sweet; instead, it features an airy blend of almond, vanilla, and a touch of salty butter, with just a hint of pie crust. The almond note carries a subtle cherry undertone, almost reminiscent of Tom Ford's Lost Cherry.
There’s a crumbly, dry texture to the scent, but it doesn’t feel entirely photorealistic — it’s not the kind of fragrance that makes you want to lick your arm. It retains a distinctly perfumey quality, remaining tasteful and well-balanced. Overall, it’s lighter than I expected but still beautifully composed.
This leans heavily into cherry on my skin, which isn’t quite what I was hoping for. I was looking for a deliciously dry almond note, but this doesn’t fully deliver that for me. As it settles on the skin, the sugary vanilla becomes noticeably sweeter and starts to dominate the composition. Unfortunately, the buttery and pie crust nuances fade away entirely. I couldn’t detect any cocoa note at all, which was a bit disappointing.
