Cherry Crush

In theory I should love this. All of the fragrance notes listed normally suit me. I purchased from Chemist Warehouse for $39Aud and even though it was a blind buy, this one is challenging to like.) The initial spritz is exactly like old-school, strong-smelling Aeroguard. For half an hour or so, I'm recoiling from a strong, prickly chemical scent that hits like a cheap sledgehammer. When it softens, it's still unpleasant by itself. When it softens, I really quite like it, but it's the warmer, woodier notes that have saved this from the bin, not the cherry scent I was interested in. When sprayed with Tangy Peach, it adds some depth and smokiness and is actually a lovely marriage if you can bear waiting through the initial olfactory chemical warfare.
