Limited community signal on this one. Take with a grain of salt.

Skip for now unless you love sweet cherry scents; better-loved options exist.

Too new for a strong community consensus yet. Early reviews mention a sweet and fruity opening with cherry and mandarin, followed by a floral heart featuring jasmine and orange blossom. Users are divided on the balance of sweetness and coffee notes, with some loving the rich, dessert-like quality while others find it overly sweet. The fragrance is suggested for evening wear and colder seasons, but opinions on its longevity and projection vary widely.

LongevityAnticipated to wear well throughout the day, likely lasting around six to eight hours on skin. The warm notes in the base suggest it will cling to clothing even longer.

ProjectionExpected to create a noticeable cloud around you, with a presence that can be felt within an arm's length, especially in the first hour.
