Amarena cherry + controversy
First of all, it should be noted that the fanboys and the haters seem to gather under this fragrance. Some praise the fragrance to the hilt, while others trample all over it.
Neither helps to form an opinion about the fragrance. So here is my objective opinion.
Like Oud31, this fragrance is at a very high level in terms of craftsmanship. The RRP is, in my opinion, more than fair.
Now to the development of the fragrance: as the title suggests, the first 15-20 minutes are reminiscent of an amarena cherry, as you would expect from an ice cream sundae. As previously mentioned in other reviews, the cherry of Cherry X has absolutely nothing to do with a Lost Cherry or a Jump up and Kiss me hedonistic. The cherry note of Cherry X is very well enveloped by the cognac.
As the fragrance progresses, after 2-3 hours, the cherry gradually fades into the background and tonka bean, sandalwood, vanilla and oud take over. I think there is a slight tendency towards oud31 here. A similar "signature" cannot be denied, although both perfumes were created by different perfumers. But I think it's pretty cool that there are a few "signature" fragrance notes in both perfumes. This creates a consistent image and provides recognition value. If you test both fragrances blindly without knowing the person behind them or knowing that it was the idea of one person, you could deduce this from the similar signature.
However, I would like the cherry to be present for longer. After 3-4 hours, it is almost completely dominated by sandalwood, vanilla and tonka. If the fragrance is named after the cherry, it should, in my opinion, be more present. Perhaps the black cherry would also do well in the base. But I'm not a perfumer.
Now to the controversial performance: I sprayed the fragrance on my wrist from a tester bottle in the perfumery. That was around midday, at the time of the review (half past midnight) the fragrance is still perceptible. Even if "only" close to my skin or when I hold my cell phone in front of me. While driving, the pleasant amarena cherry in combination with sandalwood and vanilla often came to my nose.
Of course, you can't expect a performance as powerful as that of Oud31. But I don't think the performance is weak either. It could perhaps be a little stronger - so that you can enjoy this great cherry for longer.
But I only put 2 sprays on my wrist. If you spray the other side + neck and clothes with it, you can definitely achieve a good 10-12 hours. More than fair for the RRP in my opinion.
