Barbados Cherry

Syrupy, tangy but sweet cherry. It doesn't resemble an authentic fresh cherry scent, moreso what you would expect from a cherry gummy or lipbalm, but it isn't sickly or overpowering.

A sugary-tart cherry, with a slightly flowery accompaniment. Amazing... never knew cherries could smell this way.

Barbados Cherry smells like black cherries bought from the grocery store that have that waxy shine. I don't really get a tart vibe, it's more sweet and waxy (slightly like plastic). It smells more like cherry candle wax than anything else to my nose. It really is a fun scent, great for warm weather and probably nice for layering, but it's not for me. I'll have to play with it. For a Demeter, longevity is great on clothes, projection is moderate-to-soft. I might just use it as an air freshener though. Update: this great layered over Al-rehab Cherry Flower! I imagine it would work with a lot of fruity scents for extra oomph. However, I don't really like it anymore. It's too candlewax-like and dense. Update 2: Two seasons later and back to hot weather, I'm liking this again. To me it's better than Escada Cherry in the Air because it doesn't have that powdery aspect, but I do get the slight resemblance. Also nice when layered with CSP Coco Extreme.

This is a really nice cherry scent! Sweet, but not too sweet, and doesn't smell cheap or like those overbearing car fresheners. It also seems to last quite a bit, unlike quite a few of the other Demeters. EDIT: I'm pretty sure there's chamomile in this...It's got that "natural" undertone mixed with the artificial. It makes it seem like the skin of the cherry complete with waxy residue, rather than the "meat" of the fruit.

This is not quite the tart/sweet/realistic cherry I was craving, but it is fun and cheerful smelling. It reminds me of classic cherry chapstick, which is a compliment, not a dig. It lasted ages on my shirt! I caught a whiff of cherry chapstick as I threw the shirt into the washing machine, and it made me grin. :)
