Cherry Perfumes & Colognes
16 fragrances in the SCNTMIX catalog feature cherry. Each links to its full profile with notes, performance, dupes and layering pairs.
Cherry in perfume is almost always an accord built from fruity molecules rather than a natural extract, which gives perfumers a lot of room. It can smell like fresh red fruit, sour black cherry, cherry liqueur or almond-rich cherry pastry.
The most popular style right now is dark and boozy: cherry with liqueur, almond (benzaldehyde gives cherry its marzipan facet), tonka and woods, made famous by Tom Ford Lost Cherry. Lighter cherries pair the fruit with florals and musk for a juicy, playful feel.
Cherry fragrances are usually sweet and attention-getting, so a little goes a long way. They are best in the evening and in cooler months, and they layer well with vanilla, almond, rose and woods. This list covers the fruit; cherry blossom, a delicate floral, is not included.
