Cherry Ink

Cherry is one of my favorite notes and I really wanted to try this perfume. The result? A surprise for both good and bad (as a good Galician that I am)... It all depends from which point you look at it. As for the aroma, the surprise has been very good. The truth is, after my recent interest in cherries, I expected to find another perfume that wasn't going to contribute anything new. A little cherry lollipop at the start and then leaving a base of vanilla, leather, amber that lasts for more or less time.... BUT NO! This is totally different! Does it smell like cherry? Yes, but it is a cherry worked in a very different way than usual. Here the cherry is stripped of its most acidic part to leave a creamy and vanilla cherry, which accompanied by wine gives the sensation of a very pleasant cherry punch. Although this initial sensation disappears over time, it is noticeable that it is a cherry perfume for much of the duration of the fragrance, something that is not so common in a style of aromas. And then where is the negative part? Well, what I least expected taking into account the hype of this brand and many of the reviews that circulate out there. I was expecting a cherry bomb that would last for hours and hours projecting like a beast... And nothing could be further from the truth! Despite a moderately intense output, the perfume quickly subsides, becoming a fragrance with a moderate to soft aroma and projection, effective at short distances but not perceptible from medium distances. Furthermore, the duration is very normal (about 6 hours on my skin), and the last two hours are only noticeable when you bring your nose close to the skin, leaving a sensation of a cherry moisturizing cream more than a perfume itself (especially considering that it is a extract).. So what is my final opinion?... Well, it's difficult to decide because it fails a little in what I took for granted would be unbeatable, but it has surprised me very positively in what I thought it would be difficult for a perfume to surprise me, which is a cherry smell very different from everything on the market Le he dado la puntuación máxima aquí porque, si intento analizarlo de una forma lo más objetiva posible, olvidándome de las expectativas creadas por un hype que en mi no se cumple y en comentarios yo creo que en algunos casos un poco exagerados; me parece un muy buen perfume. Aroma 10/10 y duración en la media. No es un perfume para ser en centro de atención ni el rey de la fiesta, tampoco para mostrar una gran elegancia.... Pero es un perfume que, el tiempo que dura, lo disfruto al máximo!!! Sin duda en mi top de perfumes en cuanto a aroma! I have given it the maximum score here because, if I try to analyze it as objectively as possible, forgetting about the expectations created by a hype that is not met in my opinion and in comments I believe that in some cases a little exaggerated; I think it's a very good perfume. Aroma 10/10 and average duration. It is not a perfume to be the center of attention or the king of the party, nor to show great elegance.... But it is a perfume that, as long as it lasts, I enjoy it to the fullest!!! Without a doubt in my top perfumes in terms of aroma!

This is amazing. I absolutely love Cherry ink. I honestly got a sample for the shiets and giggles, so colour me surprised that I'll be buying the full bottle in a heartbeat. The last time this happened was 3 years ago, so it's safe to say I'm hopelessly enamoured. This smells like a dangerous cherry, and I will bathe in this for months to come once I upgrade to a full bottle. The first 3 hours are otherwordly: It opens with a strong cherry that is just in peak season to harvest. But the ink and the oud (possibly the oud) give this scent something metallic in the background. A bit bloody, I'd say that puts my nose on edge in the best possible way. The cherry and the metallics play tag in the first 3 hours, and sometimes it dips into the booze-y vibe. Sometimes it warms up and I get a bit of aged wine and rum. The first 3 hours is what I imagine a modern vampire to smell like. A bit dark, a bit tempting covered in fruity playfulness. So good. After the 3 hours the scent warms up (though I'd wager that the heatwave I'm in certainly speeds up the process) and It gets a lot more tame/ generic. A vanilla and amber first skin scent with a faint cherry undertone. It's still lovely, just a lot more gentle on the soul, haha. The longevity of the scent surprised me too. In the first -5 hours its a powerhouse. I could smell myself as I walked through the city, that felt gooood. Afterwards the projection falls off a little, and all you get is a small personal bubble of sweetness. But that lasts a milennia (like a vampire's scent should) I washed, slept and I could still catch some of the scent in the morning which is insane, because my skin usually just yeets away perfume as if it was the plague. I'm basically just on my way to get a full bottle of this. The only thing holding me back is that I'll try Adam and Eve tomorrow (because figs are yay) and I want to see how that will go before I go back to the perfume shop. 10/10 will wear this again. Or rather, will wear this all the time.

Cherry Ink by Lorenzo Pazzaglia kicks off with a rich, syrupy cherry that instantly brings to mind Maraschino and Amarena cherries—the kind you'd find in cocktails or drizzled over desserts. It's dense, boozy, and very appealing... for the first few minutes. Unfortunately, that lush cherry fades quicker than you’d hope. Alongside it comes the “ink” note—an abstract, synthetic, almost industrial nuance that’s bound to divide people. Some might find it jarring or out of place, but I personally enjoy it. It hovers in and out of the composition, never fully taking center stage, and if you're not looking for it, you might barely notice it. As the scent evolves, the cherry takes a back seat and the fragrance morphs into a sweet, spiced wine vibe—reminiscent of sangria—layered with rose and other soft florals , creamy woods, and a velvety, powdery finish. The drydown continues this transition, settling into a warm woody-vanilla base with patchouli that’s instantly recognizable from other Pazzaglia creations. It’s comforting, smooth, and lingers for hours. Performance is solid, easily lasting through a full day. Overall, don’t go into this expecting a full-on cherry bomb or anything heavily “inky.” It’s more of a creamy woody vanilla scent with cherry-wine accents and just a wink of ink. Interesting, yes. But maybe not what you expect. If you're seeking a straightforward cherry scent or a bold inky fragrance, this might not scratch that itch.

My absolutely favourite cherry still stays with Duchessa by Gritti, but... .. this one is also remarkable. It is a very realisitic (almost photo realistic) young cherry in late spring - the one which is getting ripe as the first. A very young, vivid and full-bodied scent which still can be worn by different ages. It sound so realistic that it is close to smell like a concentrated cherry juice, but the wine and ink notes stop it when it's almost in the border. I have best experiences with the fragrance in winter and in cold times - back then it sounded clean and loud enough (but not too loud). Cold air and humidity were also absorbing sweetness which was too much. When I started with this perfume in this spring, it started to be a bit too sweet and a bit reminding some flavoured candies for kids. But it's still good - it's on the border, but not crossing it. I'm wondering how Pazzaglia manages it - being on the border of "too much?"with many of his fragrances, but not crossing it. Last moment not crossing it. Overall - a good projection and longevitity, and a scent I do appreciate a lot!

Love, Love the opening on this! Opens cool & I definitely get the Cherries, Almond, Rum & light Bergamot with the Ink letting you know it's there also. Not sensing too much Pepper. The Ink gets a little more noticeable as the blast of Cherries mellow a bit. Then, I get the Red Wine, Lilly of the Valley, Rose and a bit of Tonka, warming up the vibe. Will update wearing for awhile. Idk how to describe this...I wasn't liking something 15-30 min in, but I can't put my finger on it. It's like a clean but slightly sweet, soapy, cologne scent that leans a little more masculine. Maybe it's the Jasmine and Myrhh, 2 notes I generally do not care for. But now, 45 min in, it seems to shifting again. I would have liked more Musk, Ink & Patchouli, or something smoky, to be present. It's just like a clean, soapy lightly floral scent so far.
