What does Raw Cherry smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring behind and summer last. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and is chosen less for daily or office wear. More voters call it masculine, though feminine and modern votes are there too.

It opens with sour cherry, cherry liqueur, lemon and mandarin orange, a bright, tart fruit effect. Woody notes, tonka bean and dark chocolate deepen the heart. In the base, amaretto, Thai oud, vanilla, nutmeg and Turkish damask rose leave a sweet, spicy and smoky warmth. Aaron Terence Hughes Maverick and Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille have a close profile.
