Cherry Moon

Super-love this one. It's mouth-watering, syrupy cherry with sparkling sugar and it is luscious. I can't say there's zero cough-drop factor but that's not bothering me at all. What it mostly reminds me of is the Italian cherry syrup we used to put in sparkling water. I also smell the lovely cherry blossom note. It's cherry heaven, in my humble opinion. 9/10.

I purchased the Cherry Moon hair and body mist yesterday. Lo and behold, I did get some tart cherry as opposed to cherry blossom. I think I loved it, but it WAS fleeting. I will consider the eau de ?? if reviews tell me it has more staying power.

I bought this blind because it was $15 online... and THEN saw the negative reviews saying it smells like cat urine. After a nervous week of waiting for it to arrive, I’ve just applied it for the first time. The first notes are super heavy sugar— almost headache worthy, but not quite— which quickly turns into a tart cherry, almost grape candy scent. As it dries down, it becomes more cherry blossom heavy— green, powdery, very sweet, and a little musky. I think the combination of musk, powder, and sugar is what is giving some noses the much more unpleasant profile than I’m picking up on. It’s way stronger upon spray than once it dries down, and would layer well (but with a delicate hand) alongside Mugler’s Alien, as well as possibly a couple other fragrances I own to balance out the floral and sugar with some depth. UPDATE! This fragrance layers well with Kayali Eden, Alien, and Alien Goddess Intense to bring out more of the tart cherry and balance the sugars. It’s not my favorite on its own, but lasts longer and smells better when used as a layering fragrance. Wouldn’t repurchase probably, but a fun scent to use to mix sh*t up when I’m bored of what I wear!

This one was a disappointment BUT it layers very well with a good, expensive vanilla fragrance, with Cacharel's Yes I Am, which is raspberry, and over coffee scents like Black Opium. It's what's keeping me from using it as an air freshener because it's too short-lived, about 1 hour, and it's not any better than a Parfums de Coeur body spray. It's not up to Pacifica's standards. Edit: It's rather cherry Chapstick memories, a tad medicinal, and growing on me because I've accepted this isn't remotely close to a realistic cherry at all. This spring and summer I've been layering it with The Body Shop Strawberry and The Body Shop Satsuma, separately. The next experiment will be with Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Limon Verde for a cherry-limeade effect. If it works, I'll update!

Crushed Smarties candy. If you aren't thinking Escada Cherries in the Air, it's not bad, really. I love cherry notes and they vary widely in their expressions. There's a hit of maraschino cherry here, very candied. Perfect for Halloween or Cosplay or something fun in the kitchen. P.S. the body mist has an off scent due to the diluent... it's a wet almost bready sort of scent with just a hint of the maraschino cherry, like the waxy last sip of a cherry icee from a convenience store. Nostalgic, actually.
