I’d give it 7/10. It has a robust structure and is a commercial success, but it suffers from being predictable and overly reliant on the gourmand trend. It’s 100% feminine; I haven’t seen a man wearing it. It smells like an elegant dessert, as if a girl with burgundy lips has just stepped out of a luxury patisserie. It’s piled high with sweetness, with a hint of cherry (note: it fades quickly, leaving only the sweet nuance; I expected more). There are spices that give it an edge, ideal for going out at night. It’s not fresh; it’s warm. The caramel and vanilla can become cloying, sticky, and even synthetic or childish for some. The dates add a thick sweetness, almost like syrup or fermented molasses. To wear it properly, a maximum of six sprays, nothing more. It’s too enveloping for the office or casual use. Its sweet and spicy composition makes it perfect for social events, dates, or elegant outings. Would I recommend buying it? Try it yourself and decide, but from my side, I say no; there are better options where to invest your money. Does it get compliments? In seven uses, zero times.

Perfume en proceso
Very delicious perfume; I tested just one spray and it lasted over 10 hours. What stood out most was a rich, prominent cherry note at the opening, which lingers with the cinnamon, making it feel as if it were plucked from a khamsa, alongside the praline that’s always present when this note is featured. I liked it a lot, but I’m not sure if I’ll buy it; I need to smell it again to give my final verdict. As it’s a recent release, the price is a bit high, so for now, it might be a purchase I make later.

Very delicious; I tested a drop and it lasted over 10 hours. What I noticed most was a delightful cherry present at the start, which blends with the cinnamon as if coming straight from a khamsa, plus the praline that always accompanies it. I liked it a lot, but I’m unsure whether to buy it; the price is high because it’s new, so I’ll smell it again before deciding.

If you’re looking for an elegant, warm, and potent gourmand for the evening, this is your perfume. But if you’re expecting originality, a cherry-led composition, a light sweetness, or lots of compliments, brace yourself for disappointment.

I’ve tried everything but this one just isn’t for me. On my skin, it smells of wood and tobacco 🤷🏻♀️🤌🏻. I’ll wait until autumn or winter to blend it with something feminine and fruity, like fresh cherry. Scent and projection: powerful

I try everything, but this one just doesn’t suit me. On my skin, it’s pure wood and tobacco 🤷🏻♀️🤌🏻. I’m saving it for autumn/winter to layer with something feminine and fruity. Scent and projection: beast mode.
INKED PERFUME LOVER
It’s an incredible scent; I have it macerating to let it develop, but right from the start it has brutal longevity. It’s a powerful, personality-driven gourmand, exactly the kind I love.

It has that Lost Cherry with Smoke touch, ideal for autumn and winter, very elegant. I give it an 8, although the atomiser is one of those typical Armaf ones, a bit messy.
