Elyssia Scarlet

I couldn't wait to get my nose on this! I am very new to fragrances and I will describe this the best way I can. I was expecting a sweet cherry fragrance but not overly syrupy and I'm in a cherry phase right now so Im trying a couple different ones. What I got was a rich burst of black cherry on first spray. It felt almost like day time, fun and flirty, but within seconds the changes began. It began to feel smooth and soft like suede and slightly dark. I immediately began to think of aged wood in a historic home, old leather bound books a cedar chest. I honestly felt like I was walking through time and came out in some episode of Outlander, which I love. After only a few minutes I smell no cherry but I'm left with this beautiful and smooth warm fragrance that I am just in love with

A cherry fragrance that doesn't annoy me, quite the opposite: I'm in love with it! To me, this is a very feminine cherry-leather combo, with a bit of sweetness sprinkled on top (Chantilly cream and vanilla at the same time). Additionally, I was astonished by its performance (10 hrs of longevity, with 3 - 4 hours of significant projection, judging by the nice comments I have received from my mom), which brings extra value for the very good retail price. I am really happy with it and, hence, a second bottle is already on its way. 10/10!

pretty much the best fragrance if you want to smell sexy and expensive. although it gives off a little bit of middle eastern vibes, i say that thats the factor that allows men to rock this fragrance as well. cherry isnt medicinal, doesnt last very long but turns into a smooth and animalic leather scent that smells masculine at some point. definitely buying this again, is definitely a safe blind buy as well

I’m completely hooked, this fragrance is truly beautiful and feels so special. I love that it’s inspired by one of my favorite cherry scents... it makes it even more irresistible 🍒 And the packaging... absolutely stunning, such a perfect match for what’s inside.

This is my new "sexy" fragrance. Great for a date night when you want to feel hot.

This is so fantastic right out of the box. No maceration period. 5/5 for me!!

Beautiful, if u have Lorene by Hekayat Attar they are 90% same

A cherry-based fragrance had long been missing from my collection, as I was worried about the 'cough syrup' phenomenon. But reading about Scarlet I liked the sound of the other notes and thought it might a good option for a fruity evening scent. First impressions out of the box is that maybe Riffs doesn't pay as much attention to packaging as some other ME producers: I was perhaps just unlucky, but the gold coin had sheered off in the box, and when I took the lid off, the atomiser came off as well. I also feel it's a bit of weak spray. I was concerned as there was a medicinal whiff straight away spraying, but thankfully this disappeared within a minute. It's very difficult to describe otherwise: the cherry is there and I can get the spiciness of the pink pepper, but vanilla is probably the other only note I can detect. It's not as strong as I expected, but I think that's a good thing or you would overpower those with delicate noses! I do like it – it's unusual.

So, This fragrance, (notes-wise) sounds like it will smell like a creamy, cherry/vanilla bomb. But what I’m actually getting is cherry oud and musk.... Imagine if Lattafa’s “Fire on Ice” was mixed with “Jawhara’s” Sweet Dates edp. That’s what this fragrance smells like. It’s warm/musky. Not warm and creamy. I don’t get any of the vanilla. However, it is not medicinal. In the opening, I smell black cherry for like 10 seconds and then it dries down spicy and musky. This almost leans masculine in my opinion. It is too strong to layer with any other fragrance as well. And like other reviews, this is strictly for evenings, and cooler temperatures. Unfortunately, I am disappointed because it is so musky and spicy and that’s really all I’m getting on my skin. I had higher hopes for this but since it was a blind-buy, I couldn’t expect much. I would definitely order a decant of this before purchasing a full bottle.

Totally sucked in by the reviews. Smells to me like all the other cherry fragrance dupes. Nothing at all special about it. I could probably pick this up for £10 less than I paid in a month or two.

I have come to the conclusion, after this latest fragrance, me and Middle Eastern perfume do not get on at all! Only ever bought about 6 so far, and to be honest most disappointed me, in one way or another! I liked the sound of this, i had not smelt the Sirene fragrance, and after looking at the notes on it, it explains why i can smell oud, even though it does not state oud in this fragrance! I really am not keen on oud for the most part, as i do not wish to smell like a Middle Eastern man, or anything vaguely resembling the Middle East, my worst nightmare!! I do not like this fragrance at all, i was hoping for gorgeous amber, and vanilla with a deep dark cherry, all i get is the cherry slightly and oud, that dreaded smell that lurks in the background of so many Middle Eastern fragrance's whether they list oud or not, it seems!! I love deep, dark, mysterious and seductive fragrances, and when i say that, i do not mean oud, i am finding it quite repulsive! If any of this rings a bell to you, i would advise against this fragrance, and if you have any other cherry Middle Eastern perfumes, you will be fine, as it smells pretty much the same as the others!! No more Middle Eastern for me!!
