Cherry recommendations

On the search for the perfect cherry here. The fruit, not the blossom. The ones I have tried so far:

Tom Ford: cute, but the price point is prohibitive and inversely proportional to quality.

Rouge Smoking Eau de Parfum: I like it, but the sweetness eventually tires me.

Close Up: good contender, but hard to find in Asia.

Cherry Ink: smells amazing on my sister, but doesn't play nice on my skin. All I get is playdough.

Purple Heart V.5: too much ink, not enough cherry.

What can I say, I'm a picky bastard. 😅 I heard Duchessa is amazing and ordered a travel size, but I'm worried from reading reviews that it might be too sweet. We'll see. If you know a cherry scent that I haven't mentioned, please share. Thx!

Cherry Punk Eau de Parfum and Cherry Punk Extrait de Parfum

True tart cherry with a latexy leather vibe, still very wearable. I personally prefer the EDP.

I am also a cherry lover that is very picky and I hate sweet scents, so I understand the ordeal 😀

Here is what I personally liked so far:

Room 1015 Cherry Punk (my go-to cherry; either EDP or EXP - I prefer EDP, it's cheaper and less tonka sweetness)

Teufelsküche Sylvana's Bite (a great cheapie, doesn't last, but for the price you can re-apply it generously); also Bloodsuckers in Space (cherry with patchouli)

Eauso Vert Fruto Oscuro(pricey but a really unusual spiced not sweet dark cherry)

Ikyrō Blood Cherry Cordial (hard to get, it's from US but it's a great rich chocolate cherry cake scent - I normally cannot stand gourmand smells but I liked that one)

Headspace Kirsch (similar to Cherry Punk but less leather)

State of Mind Spontaneous Generosity (on a sweeter side but not cloying; balsamic cherry scent)

Pineward Glühwein (also goes in the direction of gourmand, cherry chocolate liquor)

Spiritica Lynch (extremely expensive 🙄 but probably my new holy grail of cherry, it has a great cherry pie note and it's resinous, it's all I ever wanted - as I found out when I tested it)

I love cherries too! ❣️🍒 My absolute favourite cherry fragrance is Raw Cherry, it's like a better version of Lost Cherry Eau de Parfum but for cheaper price.

I gave Bodacious as a holiday gift. It might be to your liking, though maybe not your pocketbook. What about La Petite Robe Noire (2012) Eau de Parfum?

I am on the same mission!

Best so far is Cherry Punk Extrait de Parfum have not tried the EdP though

I also like Cherry Cola and Rouge Smoking Extrait (prefer the Extrait over the EdP)

I went through a similar treasure hunt during 2020-2021, my preferred cherry perfume at that time was Aeternitas.

If you like cherry and cinnamon try Khaltat Night Eau de Parfum.

Very expensive but wort testing Cherry Oud

Thank you so much for sharing your suggestions. Made a list of many of these lovely cherries for sampling. Hopefully I can run across them on my travels.
