Cherry Incense

I’m very happy to see this brand on Fragrantica finally. I never understood why Maison Alhambra is featured but not Fragrance World. Granted, the name Fragrance World definitely doesn’t make it sound like a very professional kind of fragrance house, but still. This is a quality fragrance. If you’re pleased with the Maison Alhambra dupes, you’ll be satisfied with this as well. I tried TF’s Cherry Smoke in the London TF Store and I can confirm, from how I experienced it, yes, this is a great dupe. The fragrance is pretty straightforward as to what the name says: it’s a smoky cherry that kind of has a little bit of a middle eastern vibe. When I first got the fragrance, longevity was pretty bad, but months later, it’s great. Not overpowering in projection, but strong and pleasant enough. It’s a masculine kind of cherry, but it could be worn by a woman too. Can I just ask, why is the cherry not listed in the notes? It’s literally the main note and it’s missing? Weird. On another side note... how come this bottle is exactly the same as the Maison Alhambra Lovely Cherie bottle? Liter same shape, same color, everything. Is there some sort of shop where you can buy TF dupe bottles or something? Kind of funny.

You get hit by the dark cherry instantly but its definitely hand in hand with the smoke note, a little bit after spraying it smells a bit odd, i don't know how to describe it but it doesn't stay that way for long luckily only like a few seconds or so. But then once it starts to settle oh lordddd it smells wonderful. Someone said it was like a church and yes i can see where they're coming from. For me its like someone rubbed a bunch of cherries on tree bark and then burnt it in a church in the middle of the night. I love the smoke and woody notes in this because it definitely compliments the cherry. Dark, alluring and mysterious. I like it. However I would warn that if you're not into very smoke heavy perfumes maybe don't buy this one because its very prominent. I will say though, after it settles the scent doesn't linger around for long, maybe 30-40 minutes? But it's still noticeable.

You have to let this one rest & mature for a couple of weeks after the initial spray when you first get it. And then you get something thats 95% close to cherry smoke! It’s gorgeous and long lasting and if you’re into smoky dark fragrances you’ll love this (of course you have to like cherry too) . I sprayed some on my t-shirt 8 hours ago and I can still smell it! I’m enjoying this a lot, for a fraction of the OG price!

Nice smoky cherry scent --perfect for a feminine goth scent or a mysterious and sexy mens scent-- but the far dry-down actually smells like poo, and that poo note is really long lasting on paper. I'm letting my bottle maturate and will update within 1-3 months. 3-Month Maturation Update: No more poo smell. Smells great! (To speed up maturation, I sprayed about 5-10 sprays, gently shook the bottle, then left it in my cupboard sideways.)

Nose Note #162 I expected more cherry. This is smoke dominant with a cherry on top. Doesn't beat Lost Cherry DNA. Not redundant if you already have LC dupe, it's not something completely different, but definitely some other league of fragrances. Not for better, nor for worse

Strong smoky mysterious scent, I want to inhale the opening, so beautiful! I Smell it for the first few hours then it kinda fades in the background, wish it stayed longer. Perfect for fall, not strong enough for freezing temperatures. Lasts longer on clothes.

I'm in love with it. It simply smells like it's name. On a very cold day of winter it is the most wonderfull sour cherry and realistic

really safe smoke/incense, cherry is really syrupy, sweet and addictive, but this note doesn’t last more than 30 minutes on skin, smoke stays for few hours, it doesn’t project or linger

oh cherry incense i will never make up my mind about you

I almost smell no cherry, mainly almond. Not worth it for me.

the worst i have ever smelled, gave me nausea

WOW!!!!!! I have had this in my stash for months now and I have now only really returned to it as we are heading into winter! Okay yes the cherry note remains throughout the scent journey. Then comes the apricot, but I also smell the leather in the background. Then I am left with this smokey, cherry, smooth cedar scent with a hit of fir (which I assume is the cypress.) I love love it! I think it is unisex. Side note: I am testing KayAli Marrakesh in a bottle (which I am to testing after a months of having) on the other arm. These two together are so unique and toxicating. I would have never thought of this combo!!!!

Respectfully it's smells like inside the Church, who loves smoky Church type scent smells, you will love this fragrance. And it kind of reminds me of Cherry Cola by Paris Corner .

*** NOTES are OFF, this is CHERRY not APRICOT!!! Please make the correction!! ***
