What does Stranger in the Cherry Grove smell like?

Black cherry comes first, and leather takes over in the heart. The base settles into amber, cherry wood, vanilla and smoke; vanilla softens it, while smoke deepens the spicy, resinous feel.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters give longevity a high score, though the number of votes is small. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, and suits those who like a dense, smoky scent. Its profile is close to Ramón Monegal Fiesta and Amura Perfumes Burning Gold.
