What does Cherry X smell like?

In the top, black cherry and raspberry give a fruity sweetness, while saffron and pink pepper sharpen it with spice. The heart is led by cinnamon, nutmeg and rose, softened by sandalwood and bitter almond. The base lays down a woody, smoky floor of oud, frankincense and patchouli, with vanilla and tonka bean absolute sweetening the gourmand side.

Voters find both longevity and sillage good. Most pick fall and winter, and very few choose summer. It leans towards evenings and nights out. It doesn't settle clearly as masculine or feminine and reads both ways. French Avenue Cocoa Morado and Mancera Intense Red Tobacco have a close profile.
