Universal Supreme

Considering I'm not from the US, my first thought when smelling the cherry wasn't medicine, but candies or popsicles, cherry scented stationery. Summer does come to mind. It smells a bit like concrete next to a swimming pool. Chlorine and minerals. Grassy and green only faintly. It's not flower-forward which I'm extremely happy about. Eventually just the chlorine and cherry linger, making me smell like I had a swim earlier. But if you concentrate, a fresh and damp woody smell like a newly built sauna comes to mind. Despite the notes, to me it's not feminine. It does remind me of better times, when eating your flavoured lip balm was still tolerated. I'm not a fan of mixing perfumes, but combine with a single spray of Pipe Bomb Pink and you'd almost forget you aren't a kid wearing a mom-approved amount of sunscreen blowing bubbles in the park.

The initial blast was disgusting to my nose. It had an almost metallic smell to it. Upon reading about it and seeing the idea behind the perfume, I must say it fairly reaches its goal, which is why i didn't give it the lowest rating. I would hate to smell like hay, cherry push pops and swimming pool, personally. I would be fascinated to observe the person/persons who can pull this one off. I am sorry that this is my first impression of this house. Yuck! I will be brave and give it another go with another scent...I guess...

Interesting. Reminds me of a weirder version of Lolita Lempicka Sweet. Gives me sno-cone vibes with hay lol. Oud isn't distinguishable in this for me at least, which is a positive for me. Still prefer LL sweet though.

at first, it's a sweet, tart cherry with a metallic edge. i'm finding that most of the blackbird scents open really sharp, weird, and strong. when it settles a bit, the powderiness comes out more. it's almost waxy, i think the comparison to lip balm is really apt. the number one thing this smells like is the red lip smackers chapsticks of the 90s and 2000s. definitely hits that childlike feeling i don't like most of the notes in this anyways, but there's something chemically and sharp in it that is actually putting me off the most. maybe it's supposed to be the chlorine from a pool? whatever it is, it's viscerally unpleasant

I do NOT like this one. To be fair and give context to my interview, I don't like most cherry scents, and especially not cherry candy. This is a light cherry candy...it isn't the deeper cherry flavor that is used in other scents and food items. It is essentially a cherry sucker...and not my bag. That being said, the cherry opening, while harsh, fades somewhat and isn't as overwhelming at first sniff. It mellows into a sweet floral, a bit like the cherry blossoms in Sakura by Dior, but not as exotic as that scent. Some may enjoy it...if cherry is your thing, give it a sniff.
