Manhattan Cherry

This is All That to me. Incredibly sexy! My 1.5mL tester brought me very far. It's a very sweet and dark cherry drenched in spice and booze. The spices drift in and out throughout the wear and the tobacco in the drydown makes this a home run. As a side note it's a relief to have a cherry that doesn't smell like cough syrup.

The brief: Instagram cool girl, cherry cola, Cretan red and worn leather. This is a warm amber fragrance that’s olfactory cherry immediately pops upon first blush, evening out to vanilla bourbon, ginger, tobacco. Boozy, sexy.

I (a woman) wore this one out during a big night out with my friends and kept getting whiffs of it. I kept thinking to myself "There's this guy that smells really good here...I wonder what he's wearing?", but it was just me all along. I was the mystery man. I think that this is the perfect fragrance to wear to a retro/jazz bar in the nighttime. A boozy and spicy scent with whispers of cherry. I'd invest in a full bottle if it weren't for the fact that I barely leave the house. Maybe that should change...

If Santal 33 by Le Labo and a carefully hand crafted cherry cocktail from a jazz club down in Harlem had a baby, it's this!

Ordered some samples of this as it seemed intriguing. It’s a very realistic bourbon cocktail scent. I don’t get loads of maraschino cherry (which initially attracted me) but it wafts in and out, appearing and vanishing like a cherry ghost - or like a cocktail garnish. The power note here is bourbon, which takes on a brandy quality with the cinnamon and vanilla plus that hint of orange peel. The tobacco is subtle but present, evoking a trace of cigarette smoke on the lips after a boozy cocktail. I would have liked more of the cherry to sweeten this up but I couldn’t stop sniffing my wrist after I applied it. Incredibly well blended and long lasting. Looking forward to testing more from this brand.
