Cherry Fever by Lunio

The base smells like Mancera, both in style and quality. Pity that I’m not a fan of cherry, so it’s not for me, but it’s a good fragrance with great longevity. If you like that note, give it a try.

A friend passed me a 5ml decant. It smells like a tacky disco, completely dispensable.

To rate it, I’ll be brief: probably my favorite cherry perfume. It was a surprise when I tried it last summer. I had fallen in love with Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry, but the price and performance didn’t convince me. I tried cheaper options with limited longevity or generic dry downs. Then came Cherry Fever: long-lasting acidic cherry for over 6 hours on skin, wrapped in amber and slightly smoky notes. Since then, cherry has been trendy, but I’m not switching to Cherry Fever. I found the perfect cherry. The price is fantastic for a niche fragrance. The cherry scent is synthetic, like bubblegum, and that’s exactly what I was looking for. Daniel Josier achieves a perfect balance that isn’t overwhelming. I can’t live without it now. Scent 10, Longevity 10, Versatility 10, Originality 8, Overall 10.

This perfume just arrived in Mexico, and here there’s a cherry caramel palette called Tutsi. It reminded me of the cherry bottle they gave me as a child for Christmas. The memory is pleasant, but wanting to smell like that all day is absurd. The sweetness doesn’t offer versatility; it’s a spiced, vanilla-cherry that’s cloying. Does it improve with age? Unfortunately, it gets worse. The shrill sweet cherry fades, and the worst facets emerge. It’s a gourmand fragrance, a vanilla-cherry with heliotrope that I absolutely hate.

I agree with Karpinsky. I bought it based on YouTube reviews, and honestly, I didn’t like it. It smells sweet and dusty. My girlfriend didn’t like it either; she said it smelled a bit feminine on me and even asked if I’d been with another lady that day. I like Antonio, but this perfume isn’t as good as Neroli Nostrum; that one is truly something special.

Despite the heaviness with which its detractors try to talk us out of it Cherry Fever is not a bad perfume. It’s a nice scent I enjoy quite a bit with excellent performance. The opening is fantastic with lots of cherry that reminds me of lollipops or the Chupa Chups Kojak with a slight fruity note. As it dries the smell becomes a bit darker with soapy and smoky aspects and a base that remotely reminds me of Ambre Tabac but without losing the cherry scent. Although I like its evolution I’d love if it stayed in the opening. It’s completely unisex on my skin it has moderate sillage and lasts about 10 hours. I see it as perfect for night outings and will wear it with short dresses boots and a leather jacket. Scent 7.5/10 Longevity 10/10 Sillage 7/10 Value for Money 8/10 Versatility 7.5/10 Packaging 7/10. Would I buy it again? Maybe.

Antonio’s groupies are so committed; writing reviews just to defend a product is so sweet. But I’m not a fan of reviewers, nor do I buy a brand just because the guy selling it is likable. So let’s give it a go. This perfume arrived in Mexico a couple of weeks ago, and being smart, I bought a decant instead of a full bottle, like I did with Neroli Nostrum (which I like but wouldn’t wear, it’s too feminine, especially when dried). This cherry shit doesn’t even deserve to be a gift. Here in Mexico, there’s a caramel cherry palette called Tutsi, and this perfume reminded me of the Tutsi cherry booties from Christmas. That nostalgia is nice because I hadn’t remembered that smell in ages, but wanting to smell like that all day long seems ridiculous. Plus, the sweetness doesn’t add much versatility: it’s a candied cherry and vanilla scent that’s cloying. Does it improve as it dries? Unfortunately, it gets worse; the sweet, grating cherry that assaults you at the start fades, and the worst facet emerges. It’s a gourmand perfume, a vanilla cherry with heliotrope that I absolutely hate. It lasts forever, to the point of being annoying; I sprayed it maybe 4 times and could still smell it for hours, unfortunately. BUY A DECANT, DON’T RISK A BLIND BUY, THIS DOESN’T DESERVE IT.

Excellent perfume!! It starts with a sweet-sour cinnamon-spiced playful and youthful cherry but little by little it matures with leather notes and woody touches. The ambered cinnamon-dried down is what I like the most. It doesn’t have a huge sillage but has very good fixation and longevity. A warm perfume perfectly unisex. Great job!!

Personally I don’t care if the fragrance is launched by a YouTuber a singer or a trendy actor. I prefer to try them by freeing myself from prejudices focusing on the scent itself. And I loved it. Neroli Nostrum was a clearly daytime and intermediate-season perfume capturing the spirit of some classic Italian perfumes. On the contrary Cherry Fever is more playful and nocturnal less academic and much sexier. Its opening is explosive and can be a bit overwhelming but the dry down is delicious neither excessively sweet nor too acidic. The performance is notable and I see it as perfectly unisex. Great job by Josier!

A coquettish cherry regardless of gender it’s addictive and striking. Its sweetness is like Zara Cherry Smoothie without honey adding finesse on a supreme woody base that gives you sighs. I use cherries from TF Room 1015 Kayali etc… In a short time of owning it I can’t stop using it more because I adore the combination with leather and benzoin; it ends up powdery and pleasantly talcum-like. It has excellent performance and fixation undoubtedly a good purchase.

I gave it a quick sniff from a decant a friend let me borrow (since I already had one reserved) and I’m dying to try it in depth later for a full review. The scent is great; the opening is definitely kojak-cherry, but within minutes the woods and skin notes kick in, making it absolutely delicious. Although this post isn’t primarily a review (I’ll do that later once I’ve tested it thoroughly), the reason I’m posting is to join Juanjiniko’s observation that, just like with Jeremy’s fragrances, this one released alongside a YouTuber is getting hammered by haters. People who haven’t even tried it and vote “I hate it.” What a shame that such a fantastic hobby is tarnished by hatred toward the person or perfumer instead of focusing on what unites us: the appreciation of scents. On another note, I wouldn’t dare trash a fragrance with a note I hate, like bitter almond. If I hate something, I simply don’t try it because it’s not for me.

I’ve worn over 300 perfumes, and whether due to bad taste or bad luck, I’ve only received compliments on perfume three times in my life: Ralph Lauren Green, Bois Imperial by Essential Parfum, and Cherry Fever by Lunio. It’s an aroma that is hard not to like, with a feminine opening that dries down to something gender-neutral. It smells like Mr. Pepper, that British cola drink, and has a Penhaligon’s-like aura (this is pure olfactory memory). It’s very long-lasting with a notable but not intrusive or offensive sillage. It’s a wardrobe staple you can buy blind.

I’ll be the first to write about Cherry Fever… The opening is a powerful lollipop-style cherry scent that gives way to a darker phase, softening the initial punch, followed by cinnamon and amber. Projection is wide for the first hour, then settles closer to the skin, making it ideal for dates or dinner. It prefers cooler weather; while not impossible to wear in summer, you need to apply it sparingly. Longevity on me never drops below 9 hours. After trying many perfumes, I can say this is one that basically everyone likes. At first, I think it might even be more appealing than Neroli Nostrum among the cherry perfumes I’ve tested. It doesn’t remind me of any specific scent, though I haven’t tried every cherry fragrance out there. What does remind me of are the first 5 minutes of Zuccarata, which is curious since it lacks almond, but the heliotrope note achieves that similarity. For me, Cherry Fever is very worthy, highly evocative, and delicious. The notes change and evolve perfectly.

I heard about it by chance when a friend brought me a decant (I already had it reserved). I can’t wait to try it in full and will post a detailed review later. I liked the scent; the opening is indeed a certain kojak-leather, but soon the woods and skin notes emerge, making it absolutely delicious. Although this post isn’t much of a review (I’ll do that later when I’ve tested it thoroughly), I’m joining Juanjiniko’s opinion: just like with Jeremy’s fragrances, there’s a backlash of negative votes from haters against this one from a YouTuber. People who haven’t even tried it and vote ‘I hate it.’ What a shame that this fantastic hobby gets tarnished by hatred toward the person or perfumer, instead of focusing on what unites us: the appreciation of scents. I can’t imagine diving into a fragrance with a note I hate, like bitter almond, just to complain. If it’s something I hate, I simply don’t try it because it’s not for me.
