This smells fantastic... It is one of my all time favourites from the house of Aaron Terence Hughes. Sillage is huge for the first 2-3 hours for me, quite a monster, then goes to arms length. This scent lasts forever too, I can still smell it on me the following day! This is very much unisex, maybe just so ever slightly leaning feminine.

It opens with this beautifully sweet, juicy and rather fruity cherry. It is bright and loud. Much better than the original Raw cherry in my opinion as this doesn't have that booziness to it, instead just very vibrant and juicy, almost as though you could eat it. As the scent continues to develop on the skin, the oud does come through but in a non overpowering way. It really compliments the sweetness of the fragrance and helps to balance it out. Aaron is very clever with how he uses oud in his fragrances and it compliments the scent so well. This is much better suited to someone who perhaps is new to oud and wants an easier wearing version of it.

Overall, a really nice strong and sweet cherry/oud fragrance that is easy to wear, and gets a lot of compliments. Quite sad it has been discontinued so I only use this now for really special occasions :(
