Fröjd

A lovely scent! It reminds me of sunny days in spring when the sour cherry trees blossom. The first minute is aromatic with a hint of mint leaves on me, but then the cherry note kicks in. Sweet, zingy, cherries mixed with cherry blossoms, warm wood and little white musk. The drydown is much more subdued, with dry wood being the most prominent, followed by musk and ambergris. There is still a cherry note, it's just quieter and a little spicy. Although it is sweet it is not overpoweringly so. I'm careful with the sweeter perfumes and I,ve worn it in 25C(77F). Fröjd leans more toward a fruity or floral sweetness that somehow still feels refreshing. Maybe by association with spring? I agree that this is a unisex scent, perhaps leaning slightly toward the feminine but most of all it is an energizing scent of spring. Longevity is great, 12h with one spray! Sillage is good, a bubble around you for the first 4 hours, within arm length the next 3h and settling close to the skin for the last 5+ hours. This is such a huffer! I ́ll probably finish my 5ml Fröjd sample during summer and I ́ll definitely buy a FB.

Fröjd is the second perfume from Swedish based Svensk Parfym that I’ve been able to test. And although I don’t dislike the slight medicinal cherry opening phase — first 20 minutes or so— I much prefer the drydown. In fact I adore it. The drydown is lovely when woods join the fizzy cherry. The addition of the Ambergris note is so unusual here....makes me think of a chest of cherries on a Viking ship that’s been out to sea for many months. It’s just an odd enough pairing that somehow works, making the composition strange in the best way possible. I don’t have anything like this, and I don’t know of anything similar. Most cherry scents go into the sweet syrup direction, but not Fröjd. It’s dry, kinda fizzy and aromatic. Perfect for the warmer months, a unisex cherry scent with good performance all around. I own another from this house Virke, and consider it a treasure. Now Fröjd is on my short list. Henrik Lestréus is extremely talented, I’m sure there are others in his repertoire to my liking. I can’t wait to test more from him.

Very nice and natural cherry fragance. Fresh, bright and very Well blended. Under the cherry a soft Woody basement with some Green and creamy vibes. The scent is the BEST of the fragance. Very very similar to flamenco by Ramón monegal but much softer, this could be the eau de Cologne versión of flamenco. The worst parte of the fragance, as It happens to me with most of svensk parfym fragances is the performance. I find this fragances too expensive for how they behave. Better longevity and sillage would be appreciate . I like It but to smell cherries and red f uits i still prefer flamenco for daytime and Lost cherry by Tom Ford for night.

Beautiful woodsy 🍒 make up the DNA of this wonderful new creation by Svensk. A summer and spring scent and perfect for the daytime. Light-moderate projection and longevity. You wouldn't want this to be a beast. Very unique and the only cherry dominant one in my collection. It is unisex and not too feminine, I believe due to the woody notes, ambergris and musk. Not too sweet at all, very wearable and won't offend. Sticks somewhat close to the skin but enjoyable to wear.

Delicious tart cherry candy (Lifesavers, not Jolly Ranchers) on top of a sublte woody note and just a hint of vetiver - pretty simple, really, but that's part of the beauty of this fragrance. Frojd is a fresh, sweet and clean scent which lasts perhaps 4 hours and has moderate sillage - anything more would risk being too much of a good thing. All the fragrances I've tried from Svensk are beautiful creations and are certainly worthy of a sniff.
