Cherry Bouquet

Cherry Bouquet is the polished almond‐cream cherry in my collection - the one that feels effortlessly feminine, smooth, and put‐together without ever trying too hard. It opens with a bright cherry liqueur shimmer, but instead of going tart or medicinal, it immediately softens into a creamy almond glow. Where other cherries in my wardrobe lean syrupy, boozy, or playful, Cherry Bouquet is the one that feels refined. The almond note is the star here: not bitter, not sharp, but silky - almost cosmetic, almost gourmand, but never heavy. It gives the cherry a soft-focus elegance that feels more “expensive skin scent” than “loud fruity perfume.” The florals weave through quietly, adding lift without turning it into a floral fragrance. They keep the cherry bright enough to feel modern, but the overall impression is smooth, creamy almond-cherry, soft, feminine and polished. The vanilla in the base rounds everything into a gentle, glowing sweetness that feels warm rather than sticky. It’s the cherry I reach for when I want to smell like I've moisturised, slept well, and have my life together, even if I don't. It's feminine, not loud; sweet, but in a grown-woman way. It’s also the closest thing in my collection to Tom Ford Lost Cherry - but smoother, creamier, and more wearable day to day. Cherry Bouquet fills the almond‐cream cherry slot in my scent wardrobe perfectly. It’s the scent that gets compliments without demanding attention and the one that feels appropriate for any setting. It feels pretty without being simple. It’s not the darkest, not the sweetest, not the most complex - but it is the most effortlessly beautiful.

Very, very pretty. First spritz is strong and the cherry liquor scent with Damascus rose together is HEAVENLY. Unfortunately, that only lasts five minutes. Which is to be expected. However, it settles down very quickly to not much more than a skin scent. About 20 minutes after application I cannot smell it on my skin unless I put my wrist to my nose. It's a lovely perfume. I don't like fruit scents. But the boozy scents I do. The cherry 🍒 liquor with the rose is a beautiful combination. Those are the forefronts. The rest sort of meld together in the background. This will be very nice for the cooler weather and holidays approaching. It's not a "candy" type scent. It's a boozy, cherry rose with a touch of plum and cedar. That bit of cedar gives it an balsamic ethereal aura to it. It's not noticeable. But gives the fragrance a boost. I'm on the fence about the longevity. I only wore it twice. First time I got very warm and humid started to sweat off the fragrance. Today is my second time. Just out of the shower and hour ago. I can still smell it. So, I'll be back. But so far lovely perfume, gorgeous bottle, exquisite velvetine box. Packaging is lush and expensive looking and smelling. The price is great. But going up fast because it's not around as much. Would make a beautiful Christmas gift.

Wait for it! So, when I first received this, while it was wearable, unlike many Middle Eastern fragrances that need to sit to let some of the alcohol evaporate, it did have an ashtray smell that was interfering with the cherry. The longer it sits, the less I get this, and the less time it takes for it to go away once I've sprayed it on my skin. The real magic begins at about the one-hour mark, when the musk starts to really come through. While I wouldn't call it animalic, the musk is SEXY! And combined with the cherry it is absolute perfection. This just went to the top of my fall/winter date night list. I also added it to my backup bottle wish list. This is the first cherry fragrance I've purchased, and I honestly don't feel the need to try any others. Cherry Bouquet is my queen!

I've been bored lately, so I began exploring chocolate-cherry and cherry-centric fragrances. I heard so Tom Ford "Lost Cherry" is the Holy Grail of all things cherry. So, I purchased Afnan "Cherry Bouquet" and Maison Alhambra "Lovely Cherie." Cherry Bouquet is a simple & likable, slightly medicinal, cherry-liqueur bomb with almond notes. Wears loud, strong, syrupy and heavy. Dry down yields vanilla and wood, non-detectible patchouli. After donating my bottle, I couldn’t stop thinking about Cherry Bouquet. I purchased a new bottle. I've tried several cherry-centric fragrances and Cherry Bouquet is among the best! Cherry Bouquet and Kayali "Lovefest Burning Cherry." Doesn't get better than these two!

I'm in love! This is a more complex and long-lasting TF Lost Cherry. The listed florals on the mid definitely peek through ever so slightly, just whispering instead of yelling, but don't take over the cherry/almond/vanilla vibe I crave. Rather, they beautifully complement them. Other than the florals, the only real differences I noticed were that the cherry seems juicier and the vanilla seems more prominent in the Afnan. This is what TF Lost Cherry was trying to be. I'm getting sixish hours of fully enjoyable wear on skin out of this bad boy, whereas I'm lucky to get two out of TF. Whether I should or not, I'm absolutely going to rock my Afnan Cherry Bouquet during all four seasons.

I just got this perfume and I am obsessed it’s delicious. The sillage is soft but it’s very present, it’s one of those perfumes that smells when you’re closer but I wouldn’t say it’s weak at all. It lasts for a while, I can smell it on me hours later. I absolutely adore this fragance, very femenine and romantic, it’s fruity smells mostly like cherries and I can also smell almonds. It evolves beautifully in the skin, it got my attention how this doesn’t leave that awful perfumy headache-inducing smell after hours, this just fades into a fruity close to the skin scent. Excellent for layering and if you’re sensitive to headaches I would say this is pretty safe to try.

This is the mother of all cherry fragrances. This smells divine. I have multiple cherry perfumes and the only one that comes close to this is Nuha cherry blush. But this... Afnan outdid themselves with this one. This is the richest, most realistic black cherry I have ever had the pleasure of smelling. The other notes only compliment the black cherry, nothing overpowers it and it remains the star from start to finish. I never bought another bottle of a perfume so quick. To me, this is a grown up version of the Nuha cherry. This one isn’t as sweet and as I’ve already mentioned, the black cherry is the star from start to finish.

This is such a great cherry fragrance!!! Some can be artificial and cough syrup like but this smells so elegant! Sooooo nice i also don’t want to waste it but i ordered a back up bottle the same day i opened it! It’s so good i can wear this all the time day or night at home or work doesn’t matter it’s just heavenly! I love it! Other cherries i have don’t compare, sweet heaven was my favorite until this one came along, and mayar cherry intense doesn’t even come close to this! That’s like fake cherry juice in comparison to this!

This is excellent. Straight forward juicy cherries for hours - exactly what I have wanted from other cherries. It’s a decent price, it lasts and I can smell wafts of it all day. They’ve not tried to tart it up with almond, rum, floral notes or spice. It’s soft, fruity and sweet. No cough syrup, medicinal notes to be found here. Maybe it’s basic but it smells good, it’s accessible and it performs. Please don’t ever discontinue this...please.

Perfectly blended in my opinion, even the dry down is marvellous, the initial spray top note of cherry (albeit synthetic leaning) is ok. Five minutes later it is the perfect blend of cherry/liqueur/sweet gourmand. Good lasting power as well. I can't get over the beauty of the dry down. P.S Those who don't like cherry scents might want to try instore first. I was one of you, but when i tried it i couldn't get it out of my mind. Score 9/10

I received Cherry Bouquet yesterday and even though it's generally recommended to let Arabian perfumes sit for a while I'm wearing it today and so far, I'm not disappointed at all. Beautiful cherry fragrance, so far not the beast mode that I was expecting but there's still hope :-) I can't comment on longevity yet but silage is moderate even though I'm not light with sprays but for the price, I don't mind reapplying :-)

The first sprays were too screechy and synthetic to me, so i left it in the closet to sit for a month. Now I really enjoy this perfume, to me its a dark cherry syrup, kinda medicinal at first that evolves into a beautiful and sensual sweet cherry scent on my skin. It still lacks projection and lasting power but the scent is so alluring and addictive that i cant stop smelling my wrists over and over when i wear it.

Almond and sour cherry are the stars of the show, the other notes are not detectable imo they just create a deep rich base for these two to shine on top of. It's a commanding scent but it's not overly sweet which I think prevents it from being cloying/ nauseating. I do see why people would hate it tho bc of the association with cough syrup. Lasts 5-6hrs on skin.

This is everything I want from a cherry fragrance - slightly sweet, juicy, tart cherry. Very similar to Kayali's Lovefest Burning Cherry but ever so slightly fresher and a bit brighter take on cherry. This is wonderful on it's own but also such a good layering fragrance when you really want that cherry note to standout and play with other notes.

basically tom ford's lost cherry for a fraction of a price. unfortunately, i have only sensed the initial notes since i forgot the sample at the store but i wouldn't be surprised if overall it ended up being better than lost cherry. will come back with an updated review once i get my hands on it again

Juicy cherries in sweet amaretto liqueur. Warming and cozy. Beautiful for autumn and winter. I love it. Great value for money. It's similar to TF Lost Cherry, but lasts longer, around 6h for me. I also own Kayali's Burning Cherry which is way more woody and doesn't have that liqueur aspect.

Fresher and lighter take on Lost Cherry by TF. Layered together they make pretty great team. To me TF is too smoky and I rarely wore it. Afnan made a lighter version and I love it. To me Cherry here is juicy, sweet and fresh. I will be wearing it during spring & summer.

This was a blind buy for me ... I guess I was expecting something much worse as I was reading the reviews I am actually pleasantly surprised. Love those juicy cherry notes. I could bathe in this ♥️ 🍒

Wow, this is incredible. Deep, dark cherry, sweet marzipan, just a touch of spicy clove to warm everything up, and then this sexy, smoky note, which I think is the vetiver. Amazing!

Unisex magical stuff 🔥 Sweet, thick, sexy, creamy, alluring cherry juice..!! Wifey loves it on me, i love it on her.!! For cherry lovers like me, this is a MUST HAVE..!!
