Tart Deco

Why it took so long to add this scent to the Fragrantica database is beyond me lol. But I'm glad I can finally rave about this fragrance on here. In the opening, I'm immediately met with that sweet and juicy Dark Cherry blended with a hint of Birchwood. In my mind, prior to smelling this, I assumed this would be another version of Lost Cherry, but I was dead wrong. This is NOTHING like Lost Cherry or any other mainstream Cherry fragrance on the market. After a few minutes of wear, Tart Deco's earthy accord begins to emerge with that Vetiver note, meshing perfectly with the Black Cherry and forming something so uniquely sweet and addicting. I grew more fond of this fragrance each day I wore it. It's odd, but in the best way possible. That Blend of Cherry and Vetiver gives off a slight product smell of some sort, like makeup or a body care product. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I found it rather pleasing. In the dry down, I get hints of a creamy Vanilla, which kind of took me by surprise because I was so engrossed in the other prominent notes, I didn't think I would detect anything else. On my skin, Tart Deco offers an okay performance with about 5-6 hours of longevity at best and pretty impressive sillage that radiates a bit past arms length in the first 2 hours of wear. Afterwards, it settles closer to my skin. Overall, this is a solid 8/10 for me. I applaud Snif's perfumer(s) for taking Cherry and bringing something unique to the market instead of trying to ride the coat tail of other popular Cherry fragrances. While the performance may not be the best, I greatly adore this scent. And for $65, I can't really complain. If you're a Cherry fragrance lover, definitely consider giving this a try.

**My review is about the perfume PRE-reformulation (they removed the raspberry top note and mimosa middle note :(). I sprayed it on my wrist and some of it got on the cuff of my hoodie. I also haven’t smelled this since May, so bear with me here. I fell in love with this perfume at first sniff. It’s what I imagine a female rockstar to wear. The cherry smell reminded me of the filling in Grand Traverse Pie. It was very tart, juicy and fizzy from the accompanying raspberry. It’s also later accompanied by this nice woodiness. The best way to explain it was that I smelled like a juicy cherry soaked slab of wood. After 1-2 hours, the cherry disappears and there’s this hairspray like fluffiness (what I imagine a cloud would smell like), which I initially thought was my hair since I got it done the same day. I believe it may have been the mimosa and vanilla. I didn’t smell the perfume after ~3 hours. When I put on my hoodie, the cuff grazed my wrists, and it “refreshed” the woody cherry smell on my wrists. I’d love to buy a full bottle, but now I’m peeved since they got rid of the notes and I’m afraid it won’t smell the same.

On my skin, this smells almost exactly like a better blended and longer lasting version of Guess Seductive Red. Opens with the same cherry note (Lost Cherry has the same opening as well), and dry down is almost identical. Very strong cherry note in the beginning (1-3 hours) that slowly settles into a woody, almost smoky scent on me. The cherry note does stay around, but mellows. After around 8 hours, it disappears. I'd say this is a perfume better for cooler weather. The first time I wore this was on a 80+ degree day and it did get to be too much. Lately where I live has had a few 60ish degree days, and I haven't had the same issues while wearing this. Perfect for fall and winter. I believe its truly a unisex perfume, as it does have a masculine quality to it. I can easily see my husband wearing this in the winter while wearing flannel. If you enjoy Guess Seductive Red, but hate the longevity, this is an easy buy. If you are looking for a Lost Cherry dupe, Id say look elsewhere (Fine'ry makes a good one). If you just really enjoy cherry frags like I do, than buy it. Its very good.

i am so obsessed with this scent. it has everything I want in a perfume, sweetness, but some woodiness to it which makes it more mature. if you love berry scents that aren't just pure sweetness this is for you. It starts off with a very juicy, sweet, creamy cherry scent with a touch of the woodsy note that borderlines on juvenile, but then quickly settles down into a more mature, woodsy, leathery more masculine scent, but the cherry is still there and so is the creaminess from the vanilla so still leans feminine for me. I would say it is a solid winter/fall scent that good for day or night. i will wear it with jeans and a sweater but also would wear it out on a date night. It leans as a cozy scent for yourself, but I also interpret something sexy, seductive, and intriguing for your date. this scent stayed on my clothes for days and on my skin for the whole day 8 hours plus, but it's not too strong and overpowering, not too much sillage with this scent.

I didn't like this initially, but it grew on me. I would love to smell this on a man, imo it's an attractive scent for a guy, but I like it on myself as well. Opening = chocolate covered cherries. It dries into a woody, slightly masculine scent on me, but I like that vibe. I did one or two sprays on a shirt yesterday, went to put the shirt on today and it was still going fairly strong, so good longevity as far as I can tell. Haven't done a full day with it on my skin so TBD. I don't smell the medicinal or artificial cherry vibe that other reviewers have posted, really I only get the strong cherry smell as an opening note.
