Golden Cherry

I LOVE this perfume! I just wish it had better performance. Sigh... I never believed in perfume maceration once liquid (perfume) is dispensed, bottled, sealed and shipped. But perhaps maceration is real for many Middle Eastern perfumes once received. Ainash "Golden Cherry" opens with a lovely but very gentle, ephemeral, cherry accord that immediately merges with gorgeous florals, dry chamomile, a wee-bit of coffee and black tea notes. There's some vanilla in the perfume's drydown. Unfortunately, my nose detects very little coffee and minimal cherry. I occasionally experience wafts of patchouli that is green and slightly balsamic (not dark, roasted, or aged "chocolate" patchouli). Golden Cherry is a beautiful, mixed floral, cherry fragrance. As others have noted (on other review sites), the cherry note is ethereal and light, essentially a murmur in the perfume's background. I too wish the cherry note was more prominent because Golden Cherry is lovely. Off to the corner of a dark closet she goes. We'll see if the passage of time intensifies the fragrance, improves its overall performance.
