Lovefest Burning Cherry | 48 Eau de Parfum

Sweet, woody, warm, fruity, juicy, aromatic, balsamic, feminine, sensual, luscious, delectable, deep, rich, sophisticated, tempting, alluring, mysterious, cozy, comforting On me this opens with a very sweet, juicy, and slightly tart cherry, fresh raspberry, bright bergamot, and warm and woody Palo santo, vanilla like tonka bean, and guaiac wood which linger throughout along with the cherry. As it dries down it becomes less bright and more warm, woody, and sensual as the warm Palo Santo, vanilla like tonka bean, rich guaiac wood, and a soft touch of patchouli and aromatic Peru balsam develop more. The notes that are the most prominent on me are the Cherry, Palo santo, tonka bean, and guaiac wood. I’m not usually into cherry fragrances, and I’m always super nervous about blind buying them for fear of a medicinal scent. When I finally decided to go ahead and order the 2 I have in my collection (the other being Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Sin, a Cherry, almond, vanilla scent) I chose this one because I typically really enjoy Kayali fragrances. I figured if there was a Cherry I would enjoy that it would probably be from Kayali. I currently own 17 of their fragrances, so they typically fit my taste. I only ordered a mini bottle which I’ve been happy enough with. I don’t reach for it super often, but I do think it smells very pretty. Fortunately, there’s nothing at all medicinal here. I get this almost cinnamon scented warm and woody Cherry scent. It actually even reminds me of Kilian’s Angels Share, but with cherry instead of apple because of that warm cinnamon scent. There’s even something that comes across as slightly boozy. I’m also reminded some of The 7 Virtues Cherry Ambition as they are both warm and woody cherry scents. It’s a more sophisticated fruity cherry scent, so it feels like it would suit women of any age. Because of its warmth and depth this is definitely most fitting during the fall and winter. This feels like it would work for most occasions, except for maybe the fancier ones. I get excellent performance with Lovefest Burning Cherry. The longevity is great, it lasts throughout the whole day on me. The projection is nice too, it radiates out at least 2-3 feet from me. For reference, some of my favorite fruity scents include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Kayali The Wedding Silk Santal, PDM Oriana, Marc Jacobs Daisy Love Eau So Sweet, Ralph Lauren Beyond Romance, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, JPG La Belle Flower Edition, Flowerbomb Extreme, Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Sucré, Pink Sugar Berry Blast, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, SDJ 40, BBW Cashmere Glow, BBW Forever Sunshine

Sweet, woody, fruity, juicy, vanilla, warm, amber, aromatic, balsamic, feminine, sensual, seductive, mysterious, deep, smooth, alluring, tempting, addictive, inviting, cozy, comforting On me this opens sweet, fruity, and warm with perfectly ripe and super juicy cherry that’s perfectly sweet yet tart along with bright raspberry, and just a touch of bergamot. I really don’t get much of the florals in the heart, just soft whispers of them. The dry down is done so smooth and beautiful. It remains sweet, and grows more warm and woody as the Palo santo, guaiac wood, and Peru balsam grow more prominent along with the vanillic tonka bean and warm golden amber. I wouldn’t exactly call this smoky, but it’s definitely woody and balsamic in a really lovely way. The notes that are the most prominent on me are the cherry, Palo santo, tonka bean, and Peru balsam. I’m not sure if anyone else gets this, but it comes off as almost slightly cinnamon-y with the wood. I know that sounds a little odd, but I actually think it’s really pretty. I’m a huge Kayali fan, and currently own 18 different fragrances from them. My top 5 are Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, The Wedding Silk Santal, Yum Pistachio Gelato. I also really enjoy Maui, Maldives, and Capri in a Bottle, particularly during the summer. I get great performance with Lovefest Burning Cherry. The longevity, is very good, it lasts 7+ hours on my skin. The projection is nice,it’s on the moderate side as it radiates out at least 2-3 feet from me.

Sweet, fruity, juicy, slightly tart, woody, sensual, warm, and slightly smoky I really pick up on the Cherry, raspberry, Palo santo, amber, tonka bean, and guaiac wood. The Cherry and woody notes are really the stars here. The Cherry is sweet, juicy, and slightly tart... like biting into a cherry that’s so perfectly fresh that the juice runs down your chin. It’s blended beautifully with warm and woody notes like amber, tonka bean, Palo santo, and guaiac wood. They add a slight smoky smell, but it’s more warm and woody as opposed to smoky or spicy. I get excellent performance with Lovefest Burning Cherry. The longevity is really great, it lasts the entire day on me. The projection is nice too, it radiates out a few feet from me. I don’t have to spray a bunch to get these results, so I do consider this to be a good value. I’d been wanting to get a cherry fragrance, but wasn’t sure which one to go with because I was really nervous about getting one that had a medical smell to it. I went with Burning Cherry because I thought the notes and description looked nice, I’d heard a lot of good things about it, and because enjoy a lot of fragrances from this brand. I’m glad this ended up being my choice, it’s beautiful and not at all medicinal smelling. Another successful blind buy! For reference, this is my 14th Kayali fragrance along with Eden Juicy Apple that I got in the same order. I always am impressed with their scents and the excellent performance I get from their fragrances. Some of my other favorite fruity fragrances besides these 2 include: Ralph Lauren Beyond Romance, Marc Jacobs Daisy Love Eau So Sweet, Pink Sugar Berry Blast, Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Sucré, Kayali Maui in a Bottle, SDJ 40, B&BW Blueberry Bundt Cake, B&BW Autumn Drive, and B&BW Champagne Apple & Honey

I gotta say, Kayali knocked this scent out of the park. Naturally, women are drawn to this scent and commenting on this fragrance, but I am a guy that wears this particular cherry scent. On my skin, the scent is more woody with a nuanced cherry note lingering in the background, but I smell more like cherry wood than actual cherries, if that makes sense. The palo santo really stands its ground on my skin with the incense woody note coming through, which is AWESOME because I like palo santo scents. I would say that this is a night time, date night fall fragrance that is for women, but men can wear it as well, and it won't smell fruity and overly sweet. Yuck. I not a fan of the sweet fruity fragrances. Not for a dude like me, lol, but this scent smells great, and it lasts about 6 hours on my skin. I see comments of people saying that it lasts a short while, but 6 hours is relatively good, especially for the price tag. Burning Cherry (or Incensed Cherry Wood as I like to say, lol) gets two thumbs from me. Good job, Kayali. Like I say in all my reviews, this is all just my opinion. Take opinions and reviews with a grain of salt. Everyone has an opinion regarding smells. Some people love a specific fragrance. Some people hate it. Some people lie regarding reviews and opinions. Some state the truth. My advice is for you to GET A SAMPLE OF ANY FRAGRANCE BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO BUYING IT. That way, you can assess it for yourself and have your own thoughts rather than strictly going off someone else's thoughts and opinions. Peace and blessings, everyone!

This is the only perfume from Kayali that I own and personally, at least at the moment I think it's the only one worth buying. This fragarance is fantastic and everything I was looking for in a cherry perfume. It opens with a lovely balance of burning, but slightly sour, fresh cherry and palo santo. As it dries down, it's closely followed by patchouli and praline, with the guaiac wood dominating towards the end. I love how it's still very clearly a sweeter cherry fragrance, but the smoky, woody notes make it stand out, compared to other cherry fragrances I've smelled. It doesn't fall into photorealistic sour cherries or cherry pie gourmands. Then again, I'm no connoisseour, so it's likely there are other fragrances out there that compare to it. It lasts very nicely on me and even a few hours after spraying it gets me plenty of compliments. It's one of my beloved fragrances to wear to social gatherings, especially when I'm meeting new people, outings with friends or dates. It's inviting, warm, slightly alluring, but not in a heavy or overwhelming way. I've heard of it being described as flirtatious, and I wholeheartedly agree. It's a fun, flirty, warm scent. A little... witchy in a way? A lot of people here compare it to Tom Ford's "Lost Cherry". I have smelled that one a couple of times, sprayed a few spritzes in a perfume store and I can confidently say, Lovefest Burning Cherry EATS IT ALIVE. It's longer lasting, more complex and has more dimensions. Give it a try!
