Smoky/leathery cherry scent
Or even a cherry leather scent...

Cherry Punk begins with both a smoky and very synthetic cherry note.

I perceive the leather to be very smoky and would not say that Cherry Punk is the typical leather note, just as it does not reflect the typical cherry.

As it progresses, the cherry initially develops in the direction of a sour cherry, albeit rather synthetically, but this is more in the background. The smoky leather is definitely in the foreground.

The cherry is perceptible for a relatively long time, I would say it is strongly reminiscent of the first 1-2 minutes of Lost Cherry, but then it disappears in Lost Cherry, which is fortunately not the case here!

After a few hours, a very pleasant leather note remains, not at all intrusive.

New favorite!
Vanille Havane wasn't even on my radar, but I saw it by chance in the souk and thought I could try it, although oud is actually a direct exclusion criterion for me.
Surprisingly, I was completely won over by the fragrance.
The FIRST time I've had no complaints about a fragrance with oud.
I'm even going to buy it.

Now finally to the fragrance itself:
I definitely see the fragrance more in winter, even for evenings in summer it would be too heavy for me personally, but still wearable on a man.
The fragrance is very gourmand, which I really like. The vanilla is definitely not just slightly in the background, despite the otherwise rather overpowering fragrance notes.
A balanced mix of vanilla and smoky, as well as other warm/sweet notes.
Similar in feel to Black Phantom by Kilian, although the two fragrances are very different.

Unfortunately a disappointment
Unfortunately, I don't like the scent at all.
I always find vanilla very difficult, because it often seems synthetic, which I like with some fragrances, but not with vanilla.
Based on other reviews, I also assumed a sweet pastry vanilla fragrance.
Unfortunately, I perceive it more as an air freshener with bad vanilla.
Extremely artificial, cheap, even unpleasant.
So I really wouldn't wear it at all.
At least the price is not too bad, so it's not too annoying.
