What does Moonlight Cherry smell like?

Bitter almond and rum absolute lead the opening. The heart holds cherry, coffee absolute and sandalwood, so the fruity sweetness rests on a woody base. In the base, tolu balm, musk and vanilla dry it down creamy and lightly spicy.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and favour it for evenings and nights out. Feminine, modern and masculine votes sit close together, so it doesn't lean firmly to one gender. Bishop Bonne Nuit and Initio Blessed Baraka have a close profile.
