Raw Cherry

I surprised myself with how much I love this stuff. It’s POWERFUL. Oudy, a Thai Oud, slightly raunchy, thrusty, woody. The Cherry is the LOUD post-agricultural variety, a cherry bounced back through the isles of consumer products like sweets and lip-balm, one that is more at home in a night-club or in a city park-lavatory. The cherry lingers with those woodsy notes all the way through. You can apply this conservatively in the evening before you hit the pub, fresh slightly citrusy... And at 5am when you stagger out of the clubs, this will still be there at your side to carry you, warm, comforting, rich, maybe a bit of rose, vanilla, nutmeg and cocktail-boozy. Alternatively, if you live in the country, you will catch whiffs of this around you for a good while as it to wafts to well outside your paddock. This was not how I expected it. more like finding a real fun and personable playmate from well outside of my ‘normal’ social group. Aaron Terence Hughes creations are hedonistic, extroverted and contemporary, one to take with you into the madness that we live in.

Received my bottle today and my first thought is that TF Lost Cherry, which was too syrupy for me, will never be compared to this as they are so different. The opening is insanely sexy in the dirtiest way possible. It gives me that vibe of a black latex costume with a whip, though ofc it is unisex. I absolutely agree Raw Cherry has got that similar (but less) booziness and sparkling effect in Initio Side Effect. The booziness is more subdued towards the drydown though. The cherry is dark, sour, bitter, juicy, and just irresistible! While the Thai Oud, which becomes more present after the opening, smells woody, bitter, dry, green-medicinal — not barnyard type. The proportion and the contrast between the cherry and the woody aspect are perfectly balanced. This has quickly become one of my favourites, despite the fact that I always avoided cherry in fragrances. Beautiful scent to seduce!! Update: This oud sticks on my hair even after the second wash

Wow, this is a great one. Opens with mildly sour and juicy cherry, along with bright mandarin. Throughout the life of the fragrance, there is a very green and dry oud note that has really grown on me. Then, to darken the fragrance a bit is dark chocolate and tonka bean, which also adds a subtle and sweet gourmand aspect to it. The performance is fantastic. Lasts from morning application until night, at which point it finally becomes a skin scent. It's very addicting and I bought a full bottle within one day of owning a sample. I only wish we got more of the vanilla and amaretto in this one, but maybe that's just not shining through as strongly on my skin. I didn't expect to enjoy a cherry scent after hating Lost Cherry as much as I did, but ATH has pleasantly surprised me, once again. My third ATH, after Daddy and Homme.

This is the best Cherry out there. It starts off as a quite sharp cherry liqueur then quickly dries down to a smooth vanilla/chocolate woody scent, with a beautiful cherry note that’s not to cloying and stays there till the end. The silage is insane and if I’m wearing it my family can usually find me in a supermarket by following the scent trail! you definitely don’t need to overspray, this one is a less is more type of scent. For me it’s not an everyday wear as it is so strong it could be a bit overpowering in an office setting and I tend to put it on every so often in the winter, for either special occasions or a date night or if I want to mix it up a bit and nit wear my dumb reaches.

ATH send me a small sample of this amazing fragrance, I used at work the other day and I was blown away how good this is, super long lasting and fills the room, I've been told I smell amazing, and I could smell myself the whole time. Longevity: 5/5 over 10hrs Sillage/Projection: 5/5 5-6 hrs with beautiful, nice trail behind the wearer. Compliment Factor: 5/5 totally a compliment getter, pleasant scent. Price tag: 4/5 a bit expensive but I will pay the price 50ml/145£ I consider buying a bottle very soon. Update 28.11.22 Bought my 50ml bottle, extremely happy, one of the best choice I could do, totally worth the price.

I love RAW Cherry, it has similar DNA as ATH Oud Noir where Raw cherry is sweeter and more animalic without being dirty or banyardy. It has more character and more niche. I love how these 2 have distinct sour note from the orange/mandarin. The only cons with ATH perfume is the limited availability especially when you are outside UK & US. The price in Australia is absurdly expensive because people need to import it, also it doesn't help that ATH doesn't release any 50ml bottle this year. This fuels the hype and the FOMO with his fragrances. Hopefully his fragrances will be more available in the future.

I have an original batch from 2022 and I must say this has stood the test of time. Whenever I want something out of the ordinary, leaning mysterious yet alluring, this is what I reach for. Liqueur soaked cherry wrapped up in an oud and tonka candy shell. Evokes images of velvet and leather , scarlet and royal purple , baroque and Victorian. Please refrain from using more than once a week , it can become very sickly so a signature scent is not advised. Lovely to pull out every once in a while for a dress night out.

I never felt the need to leave a review until I smelled this fragrance so here is my first one! This is absolutely outstanding. I can’t even explain how happy I am I purchased this as it was a blind buy....I love cherry fragrances so I obviously had to try this one. I don’t think it is similar to ‘Lost Cherry’. This is way, way better. Nuclear performance which is definitely not the case with LC as we all know. Both my husband and I will share it. Perfectly unisex in my opinion. Thank you ATH! Amazing!!!

My favorite cherry based fragrance outside of Bodacious or Ruy Lopez. This is a cherry amaretto sour done right garnished with citrus. Bitter dark chocolate and oud keep it from going too sweet and gourmand giving it a masculine edge yet not taking it too dark either because the rose and vanilla kind of sit as a layer in between the other elements for a smooth well blended experience. It goes in the direction of ATH Daddy in the late dry down. Fantastic stuff.

Ok i did say side effect was my fave frag on my last review but... this has taken the crown. they do have similarities it must be why they’re both first and second place. this is dark, masculine, slightly woody and oudy while still being fun and sweet as the cherry is bouncing off the darker base. slightly boozy, sexy, great performance. 10/10 can’t wait to try more from ath.

Absolutely love This fragrance. long lasting, sweet and inviting with some dark chocolate and oud notes that compliment well under the sour cherry blast. my only negative takeaway is it gets quite medicinal, almost sickening after the 8-10 hour mark - It lasts TOO long, which I never thought would be a bad thing. Still love it

I wear many different fragrances to work and this is the one that everyone loved and talked non stop about. Even what I consider my favorites did not command the attention this did. My first impression of it was meh, but after some time with it I came to really enjoy the tartness and slight oud (non barnyard) in the dry down.

Raw cherry is a Fantastic long lasting fragrance, so much better than TF. Aaron really does know how to make special fragrances. Anyone try his homme if you love iris it's exceptional, really buttery creamy iris, hard candy/elixir and onyx extreme is amazing!!

I love raw cherry!! My partner is a huge fan of it as well. Super long lasting stays on clothes for ages which I love!! I prefer this so much more than lost cherry by Tom ford. Don't overspray this as you definitely won't need much for this to fill a room.

I mean this in the best way possible. Smells like a Christmas bouquet of fruits with the cherry in the front. Nice scent. Everytime I wear this I think of Christmas. Definitely a colder weather or evening frag for me

The fragrance itself is fantastic. But the performance is feeble. Strong projection at the beginning but drops to a skin scent by the end of the first hour. Zero sillage. A real bummer...

Love it. The oud is a bit medicinal and it's very well blended. I usually don't like medicinal notes but it is done in a way here that makes it very smooth. Lasts a long time too.

Really nice true unisex cherry fragrance! The oud and almond give the scent a certain dirty/wild feel to it. Great for dates, intimate situations, and formal events!

Fck this juice is good. a couple of shots max followed by a couple of some TF for softness. yowser!

Beautiful perfumery, bottle worthy for sure
