Cherry Noir

This is a more seductive, intimate version of midnight bloom. Before I go on, let me explain my opinion on fragrances in general..... There seems to have developed over the past 2 decades, this illusion that ALL fragrances must behave a certain way. That they must be distinctive, potent, and have a strong presence. An illusion exists, that to have a signature scent means it must overwhelm everyone who walks past you in the street, and be so attention seeking that you will get compliments from random strangers. Wrong.... Good fragrances are developed by artists. To evoke certain moods, and arouse certain feelings. Just like any other form of art. They are NOT created for one purpose only. There are different fragrances, for different occasions. Lecture over. Cherry Noir is not meant to be an in your face, aren't I sexy attention seeker. No. It's sexy, yes. But it's gently warm, gently sweet, and has a mild floral that exposes the wearer's femininity. Frankly, it's a skin hugging potion for seducing someone you want to bring close and make love to. Hence the "noir".... My bottle came in a tiny round bottle with a little atomiser. That in itself should tell you what it's meant for. It's gorgeous.

A pleasant fragrance but it lasts literally 15 minutes. Not worth even the low price it has.

And again. Same bottle, same boredom. Alongside with Moonlight Bloom - this is another sweet mess by Christina Aguilera. I used to love her fragrances !!! What ́s going on? Why they cannot release a good fragrance? I can smell alcohol blast, then a sweet mess and then it ́s gone after 10 minutes. It ́s extremly weak, I have to put my nose into the skin. Another disappointment. I really used to love Signature, Royal Desire, Secret Potion, Glam X, Xperience and now Eau so Beautiful. But most of them are simply synthetic mess.

Why no black cherry ?! I’ll never understand

Simply gorgeous, not overly sweet, long lasting, sophisticated celebrity perfume that has depth. Well worth the money especially as it's inexpensive here in the UK. Beautiful bottles too! More of a cherry blossom note than cherry, so the name is possibly a little misleading. Notheless an easy reach and nice one to layer will. I'll be grabbing a second bottle ASAP, getting through my adorable 15ml so quickly! Get your nose on it and thank me later 🙌 xx
