Cherry Bomb is a versatile beast, perfect for day or night and any season. It’s a sweet-fruit blend with floral hints; if I had to rank the notes, it would be cherry, rose, vanilla, and mandarin. The longevity and projection are solid, typical of Zara. I wanted it since launch, but as it was out of stock, I found it again in a more attractive bottle than the original.

Every time I feel tempted to sell or swap it, I smell it and put it back. It’s very intense, like a cherry tart with lots of vanilla cream; the roses are noticeable and a sparkling touch of tangerine prevents it from becoming cloying. I don’t wear it because I have so many and cherry isn’t my favourite note, but I keep it for the pleasure of smelling it at home or putting it on before bed. It’s a gem I found at a good price.

It’s intense, like a cherry tart bathed in vanilla cream; the roses are noticeable and a touch of mandarin prevents it from becoming cloying. I don’t wear it much as I have many perfumes and cherry isn’t really my thing, but I keep it to smell at home or wear before bed. It’s a gem I found at a great price.

It brings back memories of the Kojak bubblegum pirouettes I used to eat as a child; it’s a fascinating trip back to childhood. To me, it smells of cherry with an almond touch and sometimes reminds me of Dior’s Joy but with cherry. The price and longevity are decent. I think it’s unisex and would suit a man perfectly. Zara has a good collection of cherry scents.

Listen, I’m a man and I loved it. The opening is brilliant, reminding me of Tom Ford. Although it’s marketed as feminine here, for me it’s unisex. People complain about the longevity, but I’ve worn it for over four hours and it still smells great; the projection isn’t huge, but the scent is spectacular. They say it loses its cherry note when it dries down, but no, it leaves a subtle, addictive trail. Honestly, this is the one that lives up to its name; the others are sweeter. It’s on sale for €8 and I picked it up, though I’m thinking of buying a backup. If you have any doubts, ask me.

Look, I’m a man and I loved it. The opening is brilliant, reminding me of Tom Ford. Although they market it as feminine, for me it’s unisex. They complain about the longevity, but I’ve worn it for over four hours and it still smells good; the projection isn’t huge, but the scent is spectacular. They say it loses the cherry when it dries down, but no, a faint, addictive trail remains. Truly, this is the one that bears its name; the others are sweeter. It’s reduced to €8, so I picked it up, though I’m thinking of buying a backup. If you’re unsure, ask me.

In Mexico, there are heart-shaped caramel lollipops with a phrase, and this smells like that: caramelised cherry with a touch of baker’s vanilla. The roses appear later, without being intrusive. I detect toasted almonds rather than walnuts. After an hour, it smells of baby, yes, of BABY. It’s very different from Cherry Smoothie, which is more liqueur-like; here it’s juicy sweetness, ideal for cooler climates and any age. The longevity isn’t the best, projecting for about an hour, but it depends on the skin. On my boyfriend it lasted five hours, on me less. Zara isn’t trying to revolutionise; it’s a sweet, safe proposition without pretensions. It’s cheap, so you can spray until you’re dizzy. I liked it.

At first it smells bitter and of kojak chupa-chups, but once it dries down almost everything disappears, leaving just that fresh vanilla and rose scent that I adore. Nothing like that dry rose that doesn’t suit me. It reminds me of the smell of dolls, and honestly, I’ve loved it more than I expected.

At first, it smells of amaretto and Kojak lollipops, but once it dries down, that scent vanishes, leaving fresh vanilla and rose—not that dry rose I dislike. It reminds me of dolls. I loved it more than I expected!

This is my second favourite in the collection and the sweetest of all. The cherry tastes like it’s in syrup, with lots of rose and vanilla. There’s a touch of tangerine at the start that lasts just a few minutes. What I notice most is the rose and vanilla, which reminds me of Zara’s Rose Gourmand (which I adore and lasts longer). It’s pleasant but doesn’t offer anything new, and it falls short on longevity and projection. I’ve reviewed this and other Zara perfumes on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube @probadoaprobado.
