Blood Cherry Cordial

I really liked this. It smells exactly like a cordial cherry. The thing I liked is it was strong and it lasted forever. I put it on at 5:00 pm, went to a game night, came home, went to bed, woke up at 9:00 am and could still smell it on me.

I bought myself a These Sinful Three collection specifically for this perfume, and it hasn't disappointed me. The heady, delicious chocolate is sweet enough to give you cavities. Beautifully blended with syrupy cherry, it almost crosses from scent to flavor in uncannily delicious intensity. On my skin, the grown up candy notes took center stage for several hours, with the base of sexy, honeyed musk slowly coming forward to a warm, long lasting dry down. There's something very witchy and inviting about this scent- I swear that Vincent is working some kind of magic here, and I never want it to stop. The complexity of this scent will probably appeal to you if you like Angel, or other delicious gourmands blended with non-food elements in a successful way. I've received tons of compliments on this, and it seems to last forever. I put it on in the morning, and I can still smell it at bedtime.

I just compared this to Gritti - Duchessa, and Duchessa is spices and booze plus size some strong perfumey dry down, when compared to Blood Cherry Cordial. This one is more gourmand, like sweet cherries and chocolate! It is sweet and cute while still being rich and seductive. Like a vampire - looks innocent but is dark inside. Up close it can give a big of soapy vibe, but it's not major. It mainly has a similar vibe to Panah - Strawberry Delight, except this one has cherries instead of strawberries and is less cloying /overwhelming. No off-putting, weird notes in the dry down and later in the wear, which is a big plus! ❤️ Also, for those who don't know - it was relaunched and now is in regular Ikiryo bottles, that's the version I have (not the initial listed edition version).

Starts with a blast of treacley cherry cordial and chocolate. Immediately starts to dry down into a powdery note reminiscent of incense sticks in a corner store: dry tobacco, sugar, and crumbling yellowed paper. There is a dirty note here, but not in an expensive way. Unidentified spice that lingers long after the cherry is gone.

This is a lovely syrupy, honeyed cherry. The opening is that bright rich chocolate with cherry. As it settles down I get the deepened boozy cherry liquor with realistic chocolate. The bottle is gorg and this is a good cherry if you like gourmand/chocolatey scents. In the heat, it’s a beast!
