Cherry Stem

i dont understand how ppl say this smells artificial?? and that they can smell the leather?? i cant also envision this as a night time - out in the club scent as well. also the woodiness is just faint. this scent is just sweet, light and bright to my nose and my skin as well. mind you im not a fan of fruity scents or anything gourmand. i would also never interest my self in a cherry scent in any random day. i just tried the vial and i never expected to like it. as some said, this is NOT sickly or medicinal which makes this scent such an easy reach. its like a mood booster scent due to its fruitiness. i recall telling myself that this is kinda boozy and seeing that brandy scent now it made sense. still, i wear it to bed without feeling sick of it—and thats how i find that this is comforting and easy to reach. on days i dont have the mood to wear father figure i definitely do reach for this. would never cloy you for sure. such a good everyday scent for errands, gym, OFFICE or when youre just lounging at home. definitely inoffensive, friendly, approachable and warming scent (but bright)—this is the scent i would wear if i wanna put up a good first impression to ppl i have to meet for the first time. tho it can be a bit juvenile for women who want to lean on mature scents in some days. and WOW this lingers to my skin as i get a good whiffs of it even with limited sprays and lasts hours longer than father figure. my bf also find this good but tells me this leans more masculine (??) i dont get itt thooo might get the tester only tho its pricey blep

I have Phlurs Cherry Stem, Kayali Lovefest Burning Cherry, and Tom Fords Lost Cherry on skin side by side for comparison. The Phlur Cherry Stem is definitely the most different out of them all. It’s the sexiest, with deeper notes. It’s also the most well rounded. The cherry at the top note is an overripe maraschino cherry, specifically. The plum and brandy play underneath the cherry, then the base notes give it a depth that is missing from both the TF and Kayali. The base notes are sweet and earthy, instead of dry. Kind of reminds me of spilled cherry wine over a wood table. But there’s candles melting in the background and some sexy music is playing 😂. This perfume has so much more going on than Lost Cherry and Lovefest Burning Cherry. Lost Cherry has stayed a bright juicy cherry as it’s drying down and Lovefest is turning very floral. Cherry Stem, as it’s drying down, smells plummy and sensual. Musky, but not sharp ambroxans or iso e super. This musk is well done, indeed. Overall, I like it (Cherry Stem) the most out of all of them. I honestly thought they’d be all the same, but they are distinct in their own ways. Lost Cherry is the most linear, with a sour overripe black cherry (lasting the longest). Lovefest is the most feminine/soft and has faded the fastest, Cherry Stem is the most debauched with sweet wet woods (in the middle of the pack on lasting power). If I had the give it a scene, it’d be described as being warmly drunk on cherry wine in a dimly lit room. Bravo Phlur!

Such a beautiful packaging & color, I wanted to get full size (50ml), but decided to get the travel size. One because I wasn’t very familiar with the notes of brandy, ebony & leather, two Phlur can be hit or miss, three, cherry has to be made in a way I feel sexy in & 4th because I’m broke after all these releases lol. I wish we have Phlur in stores but everything is blind bought. It was love from first sniff & that’s that’s a rare occurrence, not because the perfume has to be exceptional but because it hits every check ✅ that tickles my brain to go YUMM, WOW, I NEED this. I’m not expert in cherry fragrance department but I know that cherry to my brain is often unphased, this moved me & this made me think I wish I got the full bottle, I will eventually & this will be in my handbag for reapplication. This will be a one to go for at evenings, night outs & especially date nights. This & Phlur strawberry letter gave me a beautiful surprise for these fruity berries, something I thought could smell cute most of the time but they made it smell sexy. It’s YUM 🤤 in a sexy sense, too sexy to be devoured if you will lol. Time to find the best body spray to pair it with & I can’t wait to create a whole routine dedicated to enhance this perfume to its most potential!🤩 💯 out 10. Highly recommend. Don’t fear the leather & who ebony wood, it’s not even noticeable imo.

People are SUPER divided on this scent, and I can kind of see why. At first spray, I get that strong, sweet black cherry note, a sort of smoky mix of the leather and ebony wood notes, a dash of booze, and just a faint hint of freesia/white florals. It feels like sitting at a booth in the corner of a little old speakeasy, with a cherry sidecar in one hand and a cigarette in the other, while your date discusses “business” with some seedy-looking associates and a Bessie Smith number plays in the background. I’ve seen people say it’s too woody or grandma-ish, but I’m obsessed with it. I feel like it’s completely different from any of the other cherry scents floating around out there. It totally avoids pulling into Robitussin-ville, which so many of the Lost Cherry clones do. It’s also not a full cherry lollipop scent, though it veers closer to that than to cough syrup, which I’m forever thankful for. But honestly, it’s everything else around and supporting the cherry that really makes this special to me. It may not be for everyone, that’s for sure, but it sure as heck is for the people it’s for.

A boozy cherry scent but unlike other fragrances like Tom Ford Lost Cherry, the cherry here is not sour at all. It’s overall much sweeter and has a light tartness from the orange and a smooth depth from the leather note. I get a hint of jasmine for the first 10 minutes of wear, but then the caramel and leather takes its place. A delicious and unique cherry scent in a sea of Lost Cherry dupes. On me, it has moderate sillage and lasts about 7 hours on me. In terms of perfumes listed as similar— ❌ Burberry Her: a musky and floral strawberry scent ❌ Phlur Strawberry Letter: less sweet and much earthier, missing the leather note ❌ Sabrina Carpenter Sweet Tooth Cherry Baby: much sweeter, not boozy, and doesn’t have a leather note ❌ Snif Naughty Nonna: a boozy orange cake scent, breadier and missing leather and cherry

Pack it the fuck up this is the only cherry that matters. Juicy, sweet, deep, sexy. I wish it lasted forever and ever but it's going in my bag so I can spray myself with it all fall/winter. There is something 2014 Tumblr about it that I'm obsessed with. Like a big splashy bath and body works spray but with depth. Like what you thought those sprays were smelling like when you were 16. I was a sensual amber girl myself and I swear that comes through here. Love that it's a little innocent without being weird about it. (Looking right at you Lost Cherry.) Also reminds me of ysl opium although I never wore that. Kinda has the same sexy note as Gucci guilty which makes me go crazyyy in the spring. Anyway it's hot but you could also wear it during the day and get away with it.

I never blind buy so I was so nervous for this one, especially as I really don't like artificial cherry smells or tastes... But omg this smells like when we finish Christmas dinner and pull out the pavlovas and big bowls of fresh cherries. No medicinal smell at all! I was also worried about the caramel notes as I also don't like most gourmand scents but it's definitely a minor note and works beautifully with the other layers. My go to scent has always been Eden Apple by Kayali and I really feel this is my sexy winter counterpart to that - just as juicy, layered and youthful, but with the depth of brandy and leather... Just wow! So extremely happy with this blind buy. If you love fruity scents this is the sensual dark one you've been searching for!

i saw an influencer on tt that i trust post about this and right away i ordered the 50ml and travel bundle since it was on sale. holyyyyyy craaaaap. this perfume is sexy. like DAMN. the initial spray is overwhelming but the dry down is juicy, boozy, warm, and leathery. i can't say much for longevity because i did need to reapply after the 3 hour mark (person preference because i love smelling myself). i am all about layering perfumes and colognes and this perfume with ANY lactonic, vanilla, marshmallow, gourmand anything will smell amazing. for reference i layered the new valentino bir donna ivory and i smell like a dessert. idgaf about what anyone says about men wearing perfume, i love love love this perfume

A seductive love potion. Yeah; this is a sexy, fresh bite into a cherry. This is gourmet. This is an aphrodisiac teaser to me like fresh cherries in the bedroom ;) impressive tongue twisting the stems activities mixed with the liquor. NOT artificial/juvenile lending aka a jar of processed cherries in syrup that you toss on deserts. Which btw, still can be fun and playful. Cherry Stem is simply, flirty with intentions to back it up. Two spritz on one warm pulse area to jot my thoughts here after about 1hr dry time. Having settled only slightly; still projecting, arm length, straddles 7-8hr easily...then finally moves floral. Daily driver!

Yeah all the other cherry perfumes can pack it up and go home because absolutely nothing is topping this. First of all, I know some people are considering this a dupe for Lost Cherry or any other cherry designer fragrance but Cherry Stem smells SO MUCH BETTER than Lost Cherry. This opens with a JUICY, fresh, and syrupy cherry note with an underlying smokiness that is so sexy and chic. I feel so edible and yummy when I wear this, not because its gourmand (its not) but because I genuinely smell like a big fat ripe cherry. The dry down is a subtle musky sweetness that smells heavenly. I only wish the sillage and longevity was better.

Smells sooo intoxicating. It reminds me of how the Renaissance Festival or old school Hot Topic smells. I am a certified leather note hater, and I get ZERO leather in this! It's juicy and also smells like incense to me. It reminds me of Kayali's Lovefest Burning Cherry but I wouldn't by one instead of the other. I'd get both lol. It's not a medicinal cherry, it's sorta tart but juicy and seductive. The sillage is decent also!! Edit to say: Lovefest Burning Cherry smells more powdery where as this one is more juicy. I like them both for different reasons. If I HAD to pick one, I'd pick Phlur's because powdery is just not my thing.

I love a lot of the Phlur fragrances as they really seem to suit my skin type but don’t usually go for gourmands or leather notes. Cherry Stem is a surprising and unusual fragrance. I had previously tried Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry and had to wash it off as it had a weirdly unpleasant pungent dry down on me, so I was a bit nervous about blind buying a travel size of Cherry Stem. I love it. The cherry is boozy and fresh, not too sweet and definitely not medicinal, and the white florals are light and add some sweetness. The dry down is deep, warm, fruity, woody and delicious. I’ll be upgrading my travel size to a full bottle asap.

Absolutely GORGEOUS. It's delicious and fruity and juicy, but also with a dark seductiveness. I've been looking for fragrances like this and the fact that it's from a brand as widely available as Phlur is really nice. As a lover of plum, I'm so happy it's also included. The booziness and ebony and leather make this scent very sexy imo. This is an absolute need for me. I feel like cherry fragrances are very hit or miss but this one hits. After spraying it in the store it seemed to last on my skin for a while, too, but I'd have to have some and wear it more to say for sure if the longevity is good.

I got a 2ml sample of this and everyone I know told me that I would be disappointed and that it would not last over 30 minutes on me. I put it on before Yoga this morning on both skin and clothes and here I am 6 hours later and I can still smell it (lucky it wasn't hot yoga because I am still wearing the clothes!!) This is rich and decadent, maybe it was unfair to the others in my class but I love how this smells. It is beautiful, it is cherry fragrance for grown people, not juvenile at all. Guess I need the full bottle now - this is why I am broke I need to stop testing fragrances.

I’m a cherry hater through and through. I’ve yet to find a cherry fragrance I enjoy until now. This doesn’t smell like cough syrup to me at all, and it’s not almondy either. This is straight up bright juicy cherry. The plum compliments it very well. I think the citrus gave it the brightness it needed to avoid being medicinal. The boozy note combined with the leather and woods add depth to make this a very nice fragrance for the cooler months. It’s kinda dark in the dry down but not overly so.

I like this. I was bracing myself for cloying cough syrup, loud jolly rancher, or that burned, plastic-like leather-cough, but the experience was pleasant from start to finish. Bright opening with sugary plum + brandy + fresh dark cherry, then through the drydown the florals shine through. The caramel + ebony + orange (surprising) persists for the next 3 hours, close to the skin. I have to try this a few more times, but I can see myself falling in love with Cherry Stem.

I loveeeee this perfume - it's the perfect boozy winter cherry but it's also sweet and light enough to carry into spring. However, it simply does not last on me. I don't think this is the case for everyone, because I bought some for my mom and wanted to follow her around all day to keep smelling it! but it just doesn't stick to my skin. I found Target's Not Another Cherry to be a slightly less complex and fruity, but better-wearing, alternative.

baby’s first leather fragrance! this is the most intoxicating fragrance of all time (in tge best way possible) so tart, vibrant and juicy, yet dark, seductive and leathery. i have always respected the leather lover game, but holyyyy do i get it now. this might be my gateway.. this is the most me i’ve ever felt while wearing a fragrance, i feel like it captures all the facets of my personality and essence and it’s sooooo good. 🍒🍸💼

This is a decent boozy cherry with no medicinal or menthol edge. It’s rich and I can definitely smell the leathery floral side coming through underneath the cherry. It lasts about 90 mins on me, which is disappointing for the price. I have a travel size but I wouldn’t buy a full bottle. I love this but my best cherry remains Cherry Bouquet, in terms of performance vs price.

this is one of my new favorite perfumes by far!!!! i bought it recently after smelling it in sephora and not buying it at first and then i kept thinking about it so i ended up buying it and i do not regret it at all!!!!!! i wish there was a bigger bottle though. i am so excited for fall and cooler weather because this would be a perfect fall/winter perfume!!!!
