I tried the Discovery Kit and the top note cherry is DELICIOUS—a perfect sweet and tart balance I’d love to last forever, but it fades in max 5 minutes, leaving only a fine, powdery, airy floral trail. It doesn’t project beyond my arm, staying in a very soft personal aura, and for the bottle price, I think it’s a mistake. Scent 7.7, Projection 6.8, Longevity 7.5.

An incredible perfume I’ve been dying to try for months. Finally tested it a week ago and loved it; the cherry is so rich and the scent is a total joy. I bought it today and it should arrive on Wednesday—I’m so excited! It lasts and projects really well. If you love cherry scents, you HAVE to try this. It’s easily become one of my favorites 👌🏻. Very pricey, but worth it for the quality.

I didn’t know the Mind Games house, and honestly, they are LO-CU-RA. I was completely smitten with this fragrance. I’m not a cherry fan, but here it’s simply perfect. The opening is a real BOMB: sweet, ripe black cherry with a hint of rose and spices. I loved every scent from this house, but this is my favorite without a doubt. With over 200 perfumes and having heard more than a thousand, few surprise me. With French Defense I said WOW and was left breathless. It’s been a while since this happened. I don’t just want it, I NEED it. Note: don’t buy blind, I really recommend testing first.

Incredible new niche house, part of the Nishane group. This creation hooks you from the black cherry opening, with amber presence adorned by rose. The other notes just complement the cherry and amber; in my case, I barely detect the chamomile. It lasts all day if applied in the morning and lingers on clothes for days afterward. Projects about a meter and a half. It’s become one of my favorites, but a favorite. Give this new house a chance. They also have their own version of Aventus, give it a try.
