Very rich aroma, slightly acidic cherries, vanilla, and a sparkling touch of champagne. I like it a lot. But I’m disappointed with the sillage and longevity. I wonder if they reformulated it; others say to use it moderately because it’s heavy, and today I almost literally drenched myself in it. I applied it, it didn’t smell anything after a while, reapplied, and before leaving I sprayed it on my clothes. Not a single compliment and extremely short longevity. A pity because the opening is delicious and the bottle is gorgeous. Scent 7/10, Longevity 6/10, Sillage 4/10, Value 5/10, Versatility 8/10, Packaging 9/10. Would I return? Maybe. EDIT: With a layer of Al Rehab Choco Musk oil, it works great, adding a chocolatey touch and increasing longevity. NOTE 1/2/2026: After hundreds of tests, it’s one of the few with a cherry note that I like.

This is the second time I’ve worn it. I owned the 30ml original years ago and loved it, so after all this time, I bought the 100ml reformulated version again. For me, it’s still a super-fruity delight that puts me in a good mood. The opening is sparkling: a sweet, slightly acidic, very juicy cherry. As it dries down, the cherry remains noticeable with a nutty touch. Today, in a taxi, a stranger told me he wished that scent could fill his car all day, and who doesn’t love hearing that from a woman? My 8-year-old daughter and I both wear it; it smells delicious on her and lasts all day on her skin and clothes. It also lasts on me, and for the price, I have no complaints—even reformulated, it performs well for a celebrity fragrance.

Delicious cherries! It opens with a liqueur-like burst of maraschino cherries, then softens into hard candy cherries without losing the champagne fizz. Finally, a soft vanilla clings to the skin—no florals or fruity undertones. I imagine a glass of champagne filled with cherries and a touch of vanilla. It’s tender, playful, sexy, cheerful, and youthful. Perfect for teens or anyone who enjoys this vibe. Versatile for daily wear, school, or the mall; comfortable and not bothersome. Not for formal events. Sillage and longevity are moderate, sometimes weak depending on skin pH. I’m obsessed with the bottle; it’s gorgeous and my favorite color. No complaints, I love everything about it!

The friend who’s obsessed with fresh trends has finally arrived; I own both the original and the trendy version, and my nose can’t tell the difference—they’re identical. I was hoping for a cherry icee vibe like on TikTok, but it’s nothing like that: it opens with cherry, then dries down to vanilla, feeling more evening-appropriate. Perfect for a date night at the movies or winter. I’m still searching for that winnie the pooh, Tootsie Pop, or icee scent, but this isn’t it. It feels youthful and elegant—not childish, but sweet and slightly cloying. The trail is wide at first and fades over time; on my skin it lasted 5 hours, and on clothes until the next day.

This perfume is a clear example of unpolished notes. The cherry here isn’t like the one in Petite Robe Noire (which is my favorite); it smells weak and powdery, lacking charm. It’s a common perfume with no personality. It was a gift I didn’t like, so I gave the whole bottle away. I wouldn’t recommend buying it blindly. I was already starting to dislike the cherry note in perfumes like this. If you’re looking for something well-made, go for Guerlain’s Petite Robe Noire; that’s where you’ll find a real, polished, non-childish cherry.
Amaris
At first, it’s sharp; on my skin, the blend of notes results in a linear scent of boozy cherries and synthetic vanilla. My sister wore it in college, and I remember it lasting longer; in my experience with the new presentation, it lasts about 4 to 5 hours, with a moderate trail for the first hour before fading. From my perspective, it’s ideal for someone looking for something youthful, for daytime and casual use, suitable for any season. I’ll finish the bottle, but I won’t repurchase it; simply, it’s not for me.
ElizabethFM
I have a love-hate relationship with this perfume. Sometimes it’s so cloying it gives me a headache, but on cold days or for sleeping, I adore it. To my taste, it smells like very synthetic and poorly executed cherry and peach. The champagne and vanilla notes are very weak and fade quickly. I think the cherry notes need some polishing so the other scents can shine through. It’s cloying, synthetic, and even a bit childish—nothing for work because it’s overwhelming, but perfect for summer outdoor getaways.

For some reason, it reminds me of Katy Perry’s Mad Love (maybe because of the fruit). The bottle is beautiful. At first, I sensed red berries, not cherry, but as it dries down, you notice an exquisite, creamy, vanilla-infused cherry, like a cherry and almond ice cream. You’d honestly want to eat it. I didn’t get to test the longevity much, but given the price and size, it’s a great option. The sillage is weak, but the dry-down on skin is exquisite. Highly recommended! A 10 for Miss Hilton.

Dazzle is exactly what the reviews say: sweet and cherry-forward, super pleasant and feminine. It smells like cherries and caramel, to the point where you might call it a ‘good girl’ perfume. If you like sweet scents, it’s a solid choice. The longevity is moderate—not too short, but not as long as others. It lasts much longer on clothes than on skin. Another hit from PH, for sure. I love its little bottle with the shiny pink appliqués, very typical of Paris Hilton.

I fell in love with this perfume at 14 when I first smelled it. It brings back memories of those beautiful times; it’s gorgeous and very fruity. I get that sweet apricot transforming into an acidic cherry in syrup. Very subtly, there’s a touch of talc, but nothing annoying or old-fashioned—quite the opposite, it’s very youthful. The reformulation disappoints me a bit because it used to last up to 8 hours, now it’s only about 5.
baji_keisuke
It’s a very rich perfume, probably youthful. It smells like acidic cherry with apricot and apple, but the vanilla balances everything to hit the perfect spot between acidic and sweet. I also notice a touch of champagne and nuts. It’s talcky, but not as much as Katy Perry’s Meow. I’m waiting for warmer weather to use it more; I bought it in winter and put it away because I preferred other scents during that season.
Elizabethshelby
It has a delicious cherry scent, nothing medicinal. Very sweet, it reminds me of the fruity and sweet scents from Britney and Victoria’s Secret in the 2000s, with vanilla but fresh. I think I even like it more than Natura’s Humor Proprio. Cheerful, happy, feminine, I love it. I see it as suitable for all year except on very hot days. I was worried about the patchouli but it didn’t bother me; it’s worth having.
aromadicta
Dazzle smells like a doll, with a creamy milk and strawberry touch. It lasts well on the skin and by the end of the day leaves a soft vanilla base. To me, it’s strawberries or cherries with milk and vanilla. It’s rich, undeniable, and wearable from girl to woman. It’s informal, nothing wrong with that. I wouldn’t buy it, but I’d use it if it was a gift. Maybe it’s a bit flirtatious, depending on who wears it.
ariinbloom
What a delight! I bought it in a set with the cream, body wash, and mini, and for the first time I used everything up at once. It smells like cherry with a woody or sandalwood touch, making it ideal for all year round. Plus, for the price, it has excellent performance: about 5 sprays last me around 8 hours. I’ve heard they reformulated it, but mine was bought around 2020 or 2021 and it’s still perfect.
Cecyregia
On my skin, it has low longevity and projection, but for the price, it doesn’t matter. The opening is strong but lasts only a few minutes before giving way to the star: a boozy, slightly acidic yet juicy cherry. Gradually, apple joins in after the apricot, and finally, it settles with violet. On my skin, the other notes aren’t very noticeable, but I like how it evolves; I’d recommend it for cool days.
w3xtrilogy
It’s a sweet perfume, but not cloying. It’s an explosion of champagne and cherries, with a bit of peach that blends in very well. It works great on skin because it doesn’t smell synthetic. I recommend it to those who like bold and spicy scents, as there’s plenty of that in this fragrance. Without a doubt, I imagine Paris Hilton smelling like this at a party surrounded by compliments.
Jess Jiménez
Sweet, super sweet… To me, it smells like figs and cream, but my husband sees it as more citrusy and he definitely picks up on the cherries; he’s obsessed with it. It’s a super feminine, playful, and cheerful perfume. It doesn’t wear out on me, it’s not cloying or overwhelming; I wear it all year round. Great sillage and longevity. Definitely one of my favorites.
Vickyur
A special person gifted this to me; I wrote a bad review xD but gave it another chance and wow, I loved it. On my skin, it smells like rich cherry. The bottle is lovely, the scent is sweet but not cloying. I use about 8 sprays and it lasts around 5 hours, though after 4 hours it becomes faint—my skin pH is demanding. Maybe I’ll buy it again.
Reina Amigdala
I’m quite surprised; it smells delicious. In my search for something cherry-forward, I found this. I loved it; it has a moderate sillage and lasts about 8 hours, plus it has a fantastic price. At first, it smells like fresh, acidic cherries, but it dries down to sweet cherries, like those in syrup. Very pleasant indeed.
Cherry pie
I was looking for something different from Escada’s Cherry in the Air, and while it didn’t win me over at first, it eventually became my favorite. It’s perfect for summer, smelling like a well-chilled cherry juice with an almond undertone. Great value, ideal for everyday wear, and suitable for any age.
aldonunez
It starts with a sparkling cherry note from the champagne, where cherry dominates alongside the florals and the musky base. Before the reformulation, it was a powerhouse that lasted forever; this new version smells the same, but I feel it has less longevity, though the trail is still good.
monica_caballero
It makes me crave it so much that everyone smells cherry, but on my skin it’s just champagne. I’ve tried it three times and never detected the cherry, which is why I won’t buy it. I’m still searching for a perfume with a real, cake-like cherry note that actually smells like cherry.
nina1969
I bought it because people said it was like So Sweet by Lolita Lempicka, but no… I actually love the medicinal scent of that one. Here, the cherry is dark, sweet, and powdery. For me, it’s a no; that Bellini scent prevails and the brandied cherry gives me a headache and nausea.
natalieeeeeeeee
On my skin, it smells like cherry, vanilla, and a touch of champagne—a sweet scent but not cloying. Many people seem to like it; it’s cheerful but I don’t find it sophisticated. I use it for everyday wear… I bought it blindly and liked it, but I wouldn’t buy it again.
BATJASIBE
No! Please, don’t buy it if you don’t like powder. I was fooled by the ‘clean, sweet, doll-like’ reviews, but the truth is it smells like cheap, gross powder. I bought it blindly and it was my big mistake. If you don’t want to smell like a brand-new doll, listen to me.
Khalita
This is my star perfume from Paris Hilton: sweet, packed with cherry, and sparkling with a touch of champagne. I love its sweet scent without it being cloying. I recommend it to women and men who aren’t tied down by fragrance stereotypes.
Xox
I love it! It smells like a cherry palette, has excellent longevity and projection, and I’ve received many compliments, especially from guys. It’s sweet, but I think I could wear it all year. The best part is the price—it has the 3 Bs.
CYNTHIA1980
Rich scent; I absolutely love the cherries, champagne, vanilla, and apple notes. It’s powerful yet delicious, perfect for autumn and winter cold where you’ll get compliments. In other seasons, it might overwhelm sensitive noses.
Angeles_0990
I agree 100%! It smells like sweet cherries with that sparkling champagne note and a vanilla base. I’ve had it for over a year and it hasn’t changed at all. Now that it’s summer in Chile, I’m giving it a new try.
Michelle Patt
It’s synthetic, yes, like the other Paris Hilton perfumes, but it’s a rich fruit. The first thing you notice is the cherry and the apricot. It projects a lot; on my skin, the longevity and trail aren’t bad.
