  1. I went to refill my Angel Stellar and tried one that smelled only of cherries and more cherries. If I want to smell cherries, I’ll go to the grocery store.

  2. I went to refill my Angel Stellar and tested several; one of them was this, and it smells only of cherries and more cherries. If I want to smell cherries, I’ll go straight to the produce section.

  3. Smells exactly like any Ariana Grande fragrance, I hate it. The good news is it was cheap, but it’s still disgusting and I won’t use it; I’ll have to gift it away.

    I bought it blindly for the cherry scent, but it smells like nothing. Maybe at first, but it fades quickly. It’s super fresh with a soft mint-peppermint touch not listed in the notes. To me, it’s very herbal. It also smells like Nivea almond cream and the sandalwood is very subtle. It’s super soft, ideal for the gym or a quick outing, and perfect for sleeping after a shower. It has no projection, only skin scent. I expected a powerful cherry, but I’m not disgusted by the herbal vibe. I liked it for sleeping!

    I had high hopes, imagining a sweet cherry and a sugary perfume. The truth is, I was disappointed. It’s not ugly, but it lacks sweetness. The cherry doesn’t smell artificial, which is a great achievement, but the scent is very spicy, almost minty or fresh herb, perhaps due to the pepper and tonka bean. It gives off a unisex-feminine or almost unisex vibe, not very feminine, and I didn’t sense vanilla, maybe there’s a vanillic note but with lots of talc. On my skin, it smells like cherry, almond, spicy tonka bean (not sweet), and mint. Soft sillage, suitable for any season except summer, moderate longevity on skin. Unisex-fem/unisex scent, excellent price, doesn’t smell cheap or synthetic. Not my style but not ugly, and maybe it stands out on a man.

  6. Smells good, sweet, and rich, but I don’t perceive the cherry. I sense tonka bean, sandalwood, and cherry blossom. I bought it blindly guided by reviews, but it doesn’t smell like cherry or almond. It doesn’t smell bad; I’d use it for daily wear or casual occasions.

    The first few seconds smell like syrup, haha. Then the cherry develops with a hint of pepper, leaving a sweet, rich, cherry-forward, vanilla-scented, and slightly woody trail. Despite being sweet, I find it very versatile—not cloying—and it helps keep the projection from being too strong. It can be worn in any situation or time of day. If you like these notes, don’t hesitate to buy it. I’d give it 8/10.

    Smells like a Tutsi Pop popsicle; it’s delicious and cheerful. At first, it reminds me a bit of Burberry Her, but I like that it just gives a vibe rather than being a dupe of that BR540-style scent line, which I can’t stand anymore. The trail feels heavy at first and then moderate (be careful not to overapply; it causes anosmia in me, which is probably why some reviews say they don’t detect it). By the second hour, it’s very soft, and I consider the longevity good—it lasted all night on me, though very close to the skin, even as an EDT. I think it’s ideal for all year round, just be careful on extremely hot days.

    No way, it gave me a headache. That’s just my personal opinion; definitely not for me. To my nose, this perfume is unbearable. It’s for people who love super-sweet fragrances, like a caramel popsicle.

  10. I just bought it, and it smells like nothing. I applied it right on my face and still can’t detect it. Don’t buy it.

  11. I’ve been looking for this my whole life 😍😍 It reminds me of Bombshell Intense; it’s exactly what I wanted from that: not intense. Guess Seductive Red is simply delicious!! I didn’t expect it.. Woody and acidic opening, cherry with vanilla, I think my favorite perfumes always have violet… Perfumes usually last me a breath for me, and I did a little spritz on my new acquisition when the opening smelled like pure alcohol… anyway, after a couple of hours on my skin, it feels fruity, cherry-sweet, vanilla-rich, boozy, with its hint of tonka bean in the background uffff and my room smells delicious too 😍😍😍 It’s driving me crazy simply because I hadn’t heard anything like it before. 10/10, especially for its excellent price 🤌 Longevity is over 12 hours on skin and clothes 💕

  13. Looks nice and smells similar to Baccarat, but on my skin it adds a minty twist. The woody notes really stand out, while the cherry is less prominent. It’s unisex, lasts about 5 hours with a soft sillage. I see it as perfect for spring and summer evenings since it’s not overly sweet.

  14. This one made me realize I just don’t get fragrances with cherry; it’s rich but I don’t quite like it. I gifted it to my mom and it smelled incredible on her and lasted forever, but on me it was totally different. I’m not sure if my circle is too embarrassed to tell me I smell good or if I just don’t make any perfume last; this one reaches everyone before you even get there. If you love cherry, it’s for you, though the dry-down has a slightly weird liquor-like aroma.

  15. I’m not an expert and don’t have a trained nose like most people. This perfume surprised me, not sure if for better or worse. The first 3 minutes smell like aged black cherries soaked in aged rum, like a little cake dipped in alcohol with a neutral vanilla sponge. It lasts about 9 hours, but in the last hour on my skin, I felt my body smelled like a man. Yes, a man. Not sweaty, but a super masculine woody and spicy lotion. My boyfriend says he still smells the sweet cherries when I move, but I don’t. It smelled like one of my uncles and I couldn’t wait to shower. It’s not bad, has great sillage and longevity, and I got it for a good price, but it evolves terribly on my skin. I’ll keep using it (and it seems my boyfriend does too), but I won’t buy it again.

  16. Another copy of Baccarat Rouge 540, one of the many out there like Ariana’s Cloud or Zara’s Red Temptation.

    At first sniff, I thought it was very similar to the opening of Ariana Grande’s Cloud, but on my skin, that creaminess and coconut from the Cloud isn’t very noticeable. For me, it’s equal to the Cloud but less creamy with a nice touch of cherry. I liked it, but I wish it lasted longer; by 2 hours the sillage is minimal.

  18. I bought it blind and was pleasantly surprised: it’s a sweet cherry that isn’t cloying, one of my favorites. I wear it to work, has a soft sillage, and both my 16-year-old daughter and I (45) love it, so I find it versatile.

    A delicious youthful fragrance. It opens with a boozy, sugared, incredibly rich cherry. That cherry note persists through all the phases. Then it blends with sweet vanilla and tonka bean. Personally, I absolutely loved it; it’s youthful but can be worn at any age since I don’t see a specific age group for it. I say youthful perhaps because it’s very sweet, but it’s a mature, elegant sweet. The price is great.

I’ve loved it; it’s youthful but wearable at any age, I don’t see a specific age limit. The ‘youthful’ part is because it’s very sweet, but it’s a mature and elegant sweetness. The price is great.

    An affordable and rich fragrance, smells like those heart-shaped popsicles sold in Chile mixed with Ariana Grande’s Cloud. It’s younger than Ariana’s, quirky, sweet, juicy, and minty. The longevity is good and it’s super affordable, so it’s totally worth it.

  22. This Guess line for women is excellent. It smells like sweet cherry, very rich, with good staying power on clothes. It’s similar to Escada’s ‘Cherry in the Air’, but the cherry scent is more accentuated. I love it. For those looking for an intense fruity scent, I recommend it. Reasonable price and moderate longevity on skin, but it lasts a long time on clothes.

  23. Very good. It has great staying power on clothes and lasts for days. The scent is soft and pleasant to my nose, youthful, more for spring and summer. It’s a bit too sweet and simple in my opinion. It projects much more on clothes than on skin, and the price is reasonable.

  24. I came expecting more, but it’s a cute, super summery, clean perfume with a sweet liquor-like touch. Very youthful and cheerful; I mix it with other fragrances to give it more body.

  25. It’s floral, vanilla, and has a balanced sweetness where the cherry blossom stands out; I notice a very subtle amber touch and pleasant vanilla, but the cherry, almond, and sandalwood are barely noticeable. Definitely youthful, pleasant, and short-lasting (about 4h), without being cloying. I see it as unisex-feminine. It’s available at a good price, though I wouldn’t buy it again. I agree with others: it’s almost a body mist, nothing like Cloud or Dark Cherry & Amber by Banana Republic; the latter has better performance and I love its scent.

  26. Seductive Red is a cologne that works as a perfume: amazing scent and great price. It starts with very sweet maraschino cherry, almond, and vanilla for a gourmand vibe. Then the flowers come out to balance everything and prevent headaches. Finally, there’s a soft bakery-style vanilla like a cupcake, with sandalwood adding creaminess and wood notes. Lasts 5h+ if I use moisturizer beforehand, and up to 10h on clothes, which is excellent for an EDT. Ideal for any season (if you like sweet scents) and age, perfect as a gift or a blind buy.

  27. It doesn’t smell like cotton candy nor is it very sweet; the cherry is very noticeable at first and then fades. I find it very sexy, ideal for night but also works during the day. It has good sillage and longevity, lasting days on clothes. It reminds me of Ariana’s Cloud but without the lavender. I love it, but I would have liked the cherry to last longer.

  28. I love the cherry, but I don’t like BR540 or similar things (including Cloud or Burberry Her). Fortunately, I don’t notice any resemblance here. It smells like a cherry lollipop with a spicy kick from the pepper; when I was a girl, I loved cherry chili candies and Guess Red reminded me of that scent. It’s a bit like Sweet Lolita Lempicka. In dry climates it lasts a long time: I bought it in Poland in winter and it lasted all day, even after showering. Not so much in Spain, but it holds up for 5-6h. If you’re looking for a dupe for BR540 or Cloud, don’t recommend buying it blind, but it’s a hit for cherry lovers.

  29. DIVINE! Everything is perfectly mixed and it smells sexy, fruity, sweet, and gourmand, super pleasant. The cherry is spectacular from start to finish. Projection and sillage are moderate, but the longevity is long. It’s a 10 for anyone who likes sweet and bold scents.

  30. What a beautiful perfume! It smells like super juicy and sweet cherry, reminding me of those Tutsi Pop or Rosa lollipops that are so popular in Mexico. Cherry is the star and it’s a treat for the nose. I highly recommend it for girls who love sweet and coquettish scents. Sillage and longevity are decent, lasting about 4 or 5 hours.
