Cherry Punk by Room 1015

It has that brassy, sour note shared by Baccarat Rouge and Instant Crushes: saffron with steroids. For me, that’s what stands out most, even over the leather. The cherry is acidic and a bit synthetic, but it gets eclipsed by that leather and that sharp saffron. It’s one of those perfumes I thought I’d like but didn’t. I had expectations (a mistake) and I’m left a bit ‘plof’. Not very punk, not very cherry, VERY saffron. I have to repeat myself often: don’t believe the hype. It’s not a pretty, original, or evocative perfume. Nothing to highlight.

Here, the cherry and leather are the protagonists, with a touch of saffron at the start and a soft, warm floral heart. The cherry reminds my nose of Lost Cherry, but it outdoes it a thousand times. Despite that quite marked leather, it’s super easy to wear. It’s 100% unisex, more autumnal-wintery, not necessarily for going out at night. Its weak point is performance: it lasts no more than 6 hours on skin and the projection is moderate only at the start, then it softens. I don’t know how the extrait version fares as I’ve never tried it. As a scent, I’ve loved it, though it doesn’t surpass my favourite cherry: Rouge Smoking.

I got a bottle and it’s delicious, although I expected better performance; after four hours it was already down to the skin. I tried the perfume extrait but didn’t like it, as the cherry predominates over the leather and I felt it was more feminine. The aroma is incredible, but it fell short for me.

Few perfumes have given me this sensation; Cherry Punk is an addictive experience. I’ve had it for little while, but I’ve already fallen in love. It opens with a sweetened cherry; if you’re from Mexico, it’ll remind you of the Tutsi Pop palette, but it changes very quickly; in minutes, a wonderful leather comes out, slightly dirty, and the saffron gives it personality, while a floral note rounds everything off. It smells super sexy, it’s like two opposite personalities in one: if emotions were perfumes, this would be bipolarity. It goes from a playful, sugary cherry to a dark leather while keeping the fruit. The longevity isn’t beastly but it’s good, ideal for parties, dates, or going out at night. Totally recommended, one of my favourites. Scent: 10/10, Longevity: 8/10 (around 7h), Projection: 7/10, Compliments: 9/10. Highly recommended! ✓

I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this perfume, my favourite and signature scent, by now. I discovered it on TikTok and the name caught my attention. Leather and cherry? Count me in. The first thing you notice is a lollipop-type cherry, which doesn’t bother me, although it’s always good to be warned. Fortunately or unfortunately, fruity scents last to the max on my skin, even if they aren’t my favourites. The leather is also very noticeable, never ceasing to be perceived. As it evolves, floral notes emerge (don’t ask me which ones because I haven’t trained my nose) and it becomes a softer but darker leather. The longevity won’t be extreme, but it leaves a mark.

I fancied it to be cool and sexy, but apart from the cherry, on my skin it vanishes in seconds leaving only petrol, plastic, and leather in a very unsophisticated way. It seems like a motorcycle workshop or a jacket shop. I’ll try to test it better, but it smells a bit poisonous and the cherry got lost.

That’s all… something excellent, truly. I’ll keep buying from this house. 🍒🖤🤘🏻🎸 Edited 23 April 24. It’s a pity about the longevity and projection; after 3 hours it stays in a personal bubble. I put it on at 9 am and now at 1:47 pm I barely notice it. Perhaps that’s why they released the Cherry Punk Extrait. Never mind, nothing is perfect. Note: all based on my experience. Greetings!

The initial cherry blast is incredible, but it fades quickly to make way for a leather that smells like Guilty Absolute for Him. As it dries down, the floral notes complete the evolution. The final phase is the most feminine, while the rest is unisex. Great work on the leather and fruit. The longevity, if applied correctly, is more than anyone could ask for.

Cherry Punk is the cherry we needed to confirm that Lost Cherry has ridden up on a fine black horse, with a leather saddle made by a professional. It’s a heavy-weight, unisex scent with fruity, animal, and carnal notes. Very sensual. The spices don’t dominate; they simply add maturity. The leather is always there, like a bodyguard for the cherry from the start. If you don’t like leather, don’t buy it blind. It’s very unisex, nothing childish or lollipop-like. It’s sober, sensual, and adult. It has a wide trail and lasts 7 hours on my skin. A Room 1015 offer that I applaud for its originality.

It fascinated me. Very noticeable cherry opening, not too sweet at first. 80s-style jacket leather. Then the cherry drops and the spices and patchouli come in. It smells more like rock than punk. I feel it’s very friendly, but it seems more suited for going out.
