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!!!!

This cherry is suave. Nothing medicinal, and its great on its own. It's a laquered cherry. Sweet, fresh, boozy. Its nothing spectacular. Its a nice fragrance that I layer with Bare Sueded Vanilla from Victoria's Secret. It helps prolong the longevity and makes it more seductive. This will be a staple to layer with other fragrances in my collection.

I received a sample of this along with a body spray from Phlur, and I think I need to get a full size bottle. The cherry and other fruit notes are the most prominent to me, with the slightly muskier caramel/leather notes being a good balance. To me, this is also one of the very few cherry perfumes I've smelled that doesn't lean medicinal.

My local stores don’t carry this so I blind bought a travel size. I’m iffy on woody scents and leather notes so I wasn’t sure if I’d like this but I do! The woody notes and leather note aren’t overpowering to my nose and I like it a lot. The cherry note sticks around longer than in most of my cherry fragrances so that a huge plus.

I absolutely LOOOOOVE Cherry Stem! This will be my fall and winter fragrance. Smells so divine and juicy! Dark and sexy Phlur is hit or miss with me and BOY this one has me in a choke hold. I immediately added the big bottle to my cart after getting the travel size in the mail! This is date night worthy.🍒🥃

Great perfume if you are looking for a signature scent. Goes great with a vanilla base perfume to give more sweetness to it. For me its like if you a by a fireplace with wood burning and you have just baked a cherry and orange pie with a brown sugar brandy flambé. I dont get a heavy fressia though.

This perfume makes me feel like a whole different person, it’s so sexy. I wouldn’t normally go for a cherry perfume as I thought it would be sickly and fake smelling. But this is beautiful you’ve got cherry mixed with leather which makes it feel mature and perfect for a date night

A very sophisticated, boozy cherry. Leans a bit greener than I thought it would. Cherry + booze notes are almost overpowering but they’re paired so well I can’t complain. Will I stray from my classic Hypnotic Poison to wear this? Likely not. But I like her a lot all the same

This is it! A cherry that doesn't smell like a teenagers' body mist! The deep, boozy, plummy goodness of a cherry pie eaten in a sexy speakeasy, sat in an old leather chair. If you're sick of smelling saccharine-sweet body-mist-esque fragrances... Cherry Stem has got you!

Like every cherry scent I have tried before, I was anticipating a gross medicinal cherry, but it never came. This is a grown up, photorealistic dark cherry. It’s beautiful and the longevity is pretty decent on clothing as well. Finally a good cherry fragrance.

I kept forgetting to make a review about this but this is the only perfume that I have ever smelled that had leather in it that didn't immediately make me want to gag. in my nose, the leather is gentle and not overpowering as i find it is in most fragrances.

Big juicy cherry. Non medicinal at all. I feel like this could lean even more sexy and boozy and dark. I wish this was the kind of cherry they used in cherry punk. It would bring it all together for me along with adding longevity. I bought a bottle though!

Hmm. Cherry that I actually like? The influencers didn't have to sell their soul to promo this one and may have been genuine. The orange, sugar and plum help lift this to an actual ripe cherry juice. The leather is smoothing this out from any sharp edges.

Tragically stolen out of my car. Loved this cherry scent even as a male. Not sure why people say it's feminine actually, it's more juicy than floral. Love the scent, hate the performance (typical for Phlur). Mild enough you could rock it year round.

i actually really enjoy this -- even as a fragrance catered more to women, i don't find it overwhelmingly feminine. the cherry on this is absolutely spot on and juicy, and i always love cherry with leather. really good layering fragrance imo

Beautifully juicy and feminine cherry, almost reminds me of a thousand wishes by Victoria’s Secret. The dry down is complex and warm with the caramel and leather shining through. I didn’t expect to like this as much as I do. Delicious.

Best cherry ever along with French defense. Love love love this almost has a patchouli base I’m sure it’s from the leather but it’s so sexy and alluring. It reminds me of miss Dior Parfum (2024) but insureds of strawberry it’s cherry

Slightly less male leaning than a certain TF classic, this is absolutely glorious! Deep, very long lasting, and layers brilliantly with so many things! It is the perfect, deep hearted, cost cold weather fragrance. Absolute love!

THANK YOU PHLUR. Thank you for making a cherry fragrance that smells like cherry! A luscious, jammy, sexy cherry! It only took 3,000 years but it’s happened and I’m over the moon.

I am a cherry 🍒 perfume lover and I cannot wait to try this! I see it has leather in it and I am thinking it will be somewhat similar to Cherry Punk by Room 1015. Bring it on!!!

The best cherry fragrance, a perfect mix of boozy and complex orange with a beautiful cherry note, perfectly unisex and perfect for any occassion, literally amazing

SEXYYYYY I feel like I'm in Twin Peaks assisting Special Agent Dale Cooper investigate when I wear this. cherry, sugar, smoke, and leather GODDDDD she's perfect.

One of my favorites from the house and sent me on a winter cherry fixation! Sexy evening cherry, I do not get any medicinal/syrupy notes from this one.

I love this one, just wish the longevity was better.I have several cherry perfumes but this one is the sexiest with the woody and leather notes.

Very juicy, fresh scent! Love this and prefer this to Tart Deco by Snif, I think. Phlur scents could last longer for the price, though.

the juiciest sour cherry you can imagine– i just wish it wasn't so weak... wish i could bathe in this stuff.

it's very pretty scent definitely unisex it reminds me of cherry punk by room 1015 i love it <3

Super easy to wear, not too sweet, not too linear, layers well, etc. Great purchase!

This arrived this week and I am in love! I will be buying a full size!!!

I like cherry scents a lot and this one has me wanting to explore more plum. I do love this, but if you have other cherry scents, you just don't need this. It is my second Phlur favorite behind Father Figure followed by Mango Mood. My boyfriend described this as like walking into a witch store. I so get that as it continues to dry down on the skin. It's mysterious and the embodiment of halloween. If you're looking for a new cherry and price isn't a factor, you won't regret having it. If you're on a budget, just get Finery Not Another Cherry. The 2 side by side are similar, but Cherry Stem is boozier in a rich wine way where as Not Another Cherry is heavier on the cherry in a spicier almost christmas-y way (like cinnamon or clove which are not in the notes but I pick up on them smelling it against Cherry Stem) and you definitely pick up on the almond. Cherry stem is overall fruitier from the plum/citrus and more complex, definitely higher quality smelling, but honestly you get the same feeling/vibe from both. I loathe leather, but it's well done here and I think I might try other scents I've avoided because this one does leather in a really nice way. As it dries down you get more of the leather mixed really well with the florals and you never lose the wine like plum throughout the whole experience. It is a very sexy scent. Wearable both day and night in my opinion. I have seen comments that this dries down more masculine, but I don't get that. I also don't get any of the caramel and zero woods. The longevity is good on my skin and better on my clothes. Overall I'm happy to have it in my collection especially with fall and winter around the corner but at this time, I probably wouldn't repurchase. I'd go with a cheaper cherry to scratch that itch. On a side note, I love to layer cherry with vanillas. My go to is Not Another Cherry over Black Opium. Cherry Stem would layer well with citrus or another punchy fruity fragrance. Can't wait to try it with Tangerine Boy. The packaging is beautiful too.

Cherry stem : A sweet light airy cherry . I get a hint of airy cherry similar to the airy note in Strawberry phlur but this is not medicine cherry , or even a Tom Ford lost cherry. Its slight crisp cherry with a soft sweetness that's enjoyable, feminine , nothing masculine here. I find the leather notes are very shy here and not real noticeable to me. The other notes of caramel are also very soft. If you smelled Mayar cherry , its similar to her but less sweet, less lollipop cherry and more clean crisp cherry in comparison. Mayar Cherry is a cousin to this. I like this better. Mayar cherry gave more tootsie roll cherry , and this gives more seductive hard candy crisp cherry that has a hint of fall in its touch . Leans feminine. Also its like if you replaced Strawberry phlur with a crisp clean cherry , gives u an idea. I do wish it was sweeter in the caramel but overall a fun fragrance and this is not a beast mode or heavy fragrance , so longevity might be questionable but the drydown is really nice and good for layering. Fall or spring wear. I also could see this layered with Kayali chocolate oud to add a cherry airy to it and it works well ! I do not find this a complex fragrance or only for a date night. Its a casual everyday alluring scent for any occasion. The caramel , brandy , leather notes are very soft here , but giving soft sweetness to keep this from being boring. 9/10 *I also wanted to add , if you have smelled ESCADA cherry in the Air ...The cherry in this is quite similar. edit * Decided to return this due to longevity and I own other Cherry scents that give the same vibe . Not worth 99 bucks. Victoria secret has 2 mists : Forbidden Cherry and Cherry Desire which gives a similar vibe.
