Black Cherry & Almond

I'll keep this review brief because it really is incredibly simple: Di Palomo Black Cherry Almond smells almost EXACTLY the same as Guerlain La Petite Robe Noir; possibly slightly better. I blind-bought a bottle of this at the same time as a half dozen other cherry scents, because...obsession. LPRN is a lovely fragrance, but I was somewhat underwhelmed by it upon purchase because it just didn't seem to pack enough of a punch. It didn't live up to my expectations. I tried DPBCA recently and was taken aback by how similar it was to LPRN. Trying the two of them on opposing wrists, the only real difference I can detect is that the cherry notes in DPBCA were not only more pronounced, but there are at once both the tart, juicy cherry of LPRN as well as a subtle black cherry note too, which fleshes the whole scent out much better IMO. DPBCA can be found for around £21 for a 100ml bottle on eBay. It also comes in a generous body spray, shower gel and body lotion, for layering, but if you love LPRN and think (quite rightly) that you'd rather not spend upwards of £40 for 50ml, then seriously, just buy a bottle of Di Palomo Black Cherry Almond while they're still around. You won't be disappointed.
