Perpetual

Oh my god... first of all thank the sellers on Mercari for getting rid of the fragrances they blind buy and don’t like because I got such a good deal on this fragrance and it’s like it’s never been used before me but anyway this scent.. I can’t imagine why anyone would dislike this.. it’s what I hoped Oud Tonka would be because everyone raves about Oud tonka saying it was so almondy and smelled like cherries but to me Shaghaf Oud tonka smells like candied orange blossom and almonds.. so almondy and powdery that if smells a bit like orange blossom marzipan but I’m not a huge fan of how thick and dense it smells on me not to mention I don’t get any cherry vibe so when I got this fragrance and smelled it.. I was like that’s what I wanted Oud tonka to be but the quality is a million times better and it’s absolutely mind blowing. Moresque was genius for adding shimmer to their fragrances because it’s so damn stunning to just look at and experience but then you spray it and the scent is so damn good. It’s fresh and spicy due to that ginger which was done perfectly then you have the almond which is very clearly almond not cherry like almond. The almond and the cherry are very much their own notes in this composition and I’m so glad because the ripe sour cherry gets a chance to shine while the almond is a supporting note that adds this nuttiness. The fragrance is both bright and airy while still having some warm cozy density that really sticks to your skin. It’s a cherry I could easily wear year round and not get sick of. The ginger really keeps it fresh and spicy and steers it away from being cloying so it’s easy to get addicted to this. This cherry is unlike others and it’s special. Some of these brands are taking notes like mango or cherry and putting such a special spin on them that it truly does justify having 5 mango scents or 7 cherry fragrances. Like it’s amazing how many different ways you can make a singular note the star of the show and it smells not only amazing but so unlike any of the other fragrances with some of the same notes. Reasons why I will never stop adding cherry fragrances or mango because they are usually so so good!

The scent of a perfect gingerbread! Absolutely perfect. I never encountered a scent that is such a perfect representation of gingerbread. Cherry, ginger, almond, brown sugar are the most evident in the opening! Apart from Regina di Fiori this is my favourite Moresque. This scent I love. So unique. It retains such character during wear, but rose, iris and tonka add their voices too. Not too strong it is lovely even for summer, though rather for the evening. Perfect!

Very similar to Lost Cherry, but slightly more affordable and long lasting, AND in a gorgeous bottle with shimmery juice!

The best cherry fragrance outhere! Strong, long lasting, mytserious! Go for one if you love cherry note!

Beast of a fragrance. Not overly sweet, pretty boozy. It starts Amaretto on me, but eventually all I smell is cherry liquor. I have to wear it some more... I am searching for an alternative for Duchessa, Perpetual is not the answer.
