Smells exactly like any Ariana Grande product, which I hate. The good news is it was cheap, but it remains disgusting and I won’t use it; I’ll have to give it away.
I went to refill my Angel Stellar and tried several; one of them was this, and it only smells of cherries and more cherries. If I want to smell cherries, I’ll go straight to the greengrocer.

I bought it blindly for the cherry scent, but it smells like nothing. Perhaps in the opening, but it fades quickly. It’s super fresh with a soft mint-basil note not listed in the notes. To me, it’s very herbal. It also smells like almond cream, like Nivea, and the sandalwood is very subtle. It’s super soft, ideal for the gym or a quick outing, and perfect for sleeping after a shower. It has no projection; you only feel it on the skin. I expected a powerful cherry scent, but I’m not put off by the herbal notes. I liked it for sleeping!
I had high hopes, imagining a sweet cherry and a sugary perfume. The truth is, I was let down. It’s not bad, but it lacks sweetness. The cherry doesn’t smell artificial, which is a great achievement, but the scent is very spicy, almost minty or fresh grassy, perhaps due to the pepper and tonka bean. It gives an androgynous or nearly unisex vibe; it’s not very feminine and I didn’t detect vanilla, though there might be a vanilla note buried under lots of powder. On my skin, it smells of cherry, almond, spicy tonka bean (not sweet), and mint. Soft trail, suitable for any season except summer, moderate longevity on skin. Androgynous/feminine unisex scent, excellent price, doesn’t smell cheap or synthetic. Not my style, but it’s not ugly and might be striking on a man.
Smells nice, sweet and rich, but I don’t perceive the cherry. I detect tonka bean, sandalwood, and cherry blossom. I bought it blindly guided by reviews, but it doesn’t smell of cherry or almond. It doesn’t smell bad; I’d use it for daily wear or casual occasions.
The first few seconds smell of syrup, haha. Then the cherry develops with a peppery touch, followed by a sweet, rich, cherry-like, vanilla-infused and slightly woody scent. Despite being sweet, I find it very versatile; it’s not cloying and helps that it lacks strong projection. It could be used in any situation and time of day. If you like notes, don’t hesitate to buy it. I’d give it 8/10.
Smells like a Tutsi Pop ice lolly; it’s delicious and youthful. In the opening, it reminds me a bit of Burberry Her, but I like that it only gives a hint rather than being a dupe of that BR540 scent line I can no longer stand. The trail feels heavy at first, then moderate (one must be careful not to overapply; it causes anosmia in me, perhaps explaining why some reviews say they can’t perceive it). By the second hour, it’s very soft, and I consider it has good longevity; it lasted all night on me, though very close to the skin as it is just an EDT. I think it’s ideal for all year round, just take care on extremely hot days.
No, it gave me a headache. It’s a personal opinion; definitely not for me. To my nose, this perfume is unbearable; it’s for those who like super sweet fragrances, like a caramel lolly.
I just bought it; it smells like nothing. I applied it right on my face and still can’t smell it. Don’t buy it.
I’ve been looking for this all my life 😍😍. It reminds me of Bombshell Intense. It’s exactly what I wanted from Bombshell Intense, which has nothing to do with ‘intense’. Anyway, Guess Seductive Red is: simply delicious!! I didn’t expect that. Woody and acidic opening, little cherry with vanilla. I think my favourite perfumes always have violet… Perfumes usually last me a breath, and I did a bit of fudging on my new acquisition when its opening smelled of pure alcohol… Anyway, after a couple of hours, on my skin it already feels fruity, cherry-like, vanilla-scented, boozy, with its background flash of tonka bean uffff and my room smells delicious too 😍😍😍. It has me crazy simply because I hadn’t heard anything like it before. 10/10 especially for its excellent price 🤌. Longevity of more than 12 hours on skin and clothes 💕

Looks nice and smells similar to Baccarat, but on my skin it adds a mentholated touch. The woody notes are noticeable, though the cherry is less so. It’s unisex, lasting around five hours with a soft sillage. I see it as ideal for spring and summer evenings since it isn’t overly sweet.
With this, I discovered that fragrances with cherry simply aren’t for me; it’s rich but I don’t quite like it. I gave it to my mum and it smells incredible on her and lasts much longer, whereas on me it was different. I’m not sure whether my circle feels embarrassed to tell me I smell good or if I genuinely can’t keep any perfume going; this one reaches everywhere before you do. If you like cherry, it’s for you, although when it dries down it leaves a slightly odd liquor-like scent.
I’m not an expert nor do I have a trained nose like most. This perfume surprised me, though I’m not sure if for the better. The first three minutes smell of black cherries aged in aged rum, like a little cake soaked in alcohol with a neutral vanilla sponge. It lasts about nine hours, but in the last hour on my skin I felt my body smelled like a man. Yes, a man. Not sweaty, but a super masculine woody and spiced lotion. My boyfriend says he still perceives the sweet cherries when I move, but I don’t. It smelled like one of my uncles and I couldn’t wait to shower. It’s not bad, it has good sillage and projection and I got it at a good price, but it evolves terribly on my skin. I’ll continue using it (and it seems my boyfriend will too), but I won’t buy it again.
Another copy of Baccarat Rouge 540, one of the many available on the market such as Ariana’s Cloud or Zara’s Red Temptation.
A delicious youthful fragrance. It opens with a boozy, sugared, incredibly rich cherry. That cherry persists through all the phases. Afterwards, it blends with sweet vanilla and tonka bean. Personally, I’ve loved it; it’s youthful but can be worn at any age as I don’t see a specific age group, though I say youthful perhaps because it’s very sweet, yet it’s a mature and elegant sweet. The price is fantastic.
I bought it blindly and was pleasantly surprised: it’s a sweet cherry without being cloying, one of my favourites. I use it for work, it has a soft sillage, and both my daughter (16) and I (45) love it, so I find it versatile.
Upon smelling it, I thought it was very similar to the opening of Ariana Grande’s Cloud, but on my skin that creaminess and coconut note from the Cloud isn’t very noticeable. For me, it’s the same as Cloud but less creamy with a lovely cherry touch. I liked it, but I wish it lasted longer; by two hours the sillage is minimal.
A delicious youthful fragrance. It opens with a rich, liquorish and sugary cherry that persists through all stages. Then it blends with sweet vanilla and tonka bean. I’ve loved it; it’s youthful yet suitable for any age, I don’t see a specific age group. The ‘youthful’ aspect is due to being very sweet, but it’s a mature and elegant sweetness. The price is excellent.
An economical and rich fragrance, smelling like those heart-shaped lollipops sold in Chile combined with Ariana Grande’s Cloud. It’s younger than Ariana’s, quirky, sweet, juicy and mentholated. The longevity is good and it’s super economical, so it’s totally worth it.
This Guess line for ladies is very good. It smells of sweet cherry, very rich, with good hold on clothes. It’s similar to Escada’s ‘Cherry in the Air’, but with a more accentuated cherry scent. I love it. For those seeking an intense fruity scent, I recommend it. Reasonable price and moderate longevity on skin, but it lasts a long time on clothes.
Very good. It has excellent hold on clothes and lasts several days. The scent is soft and pleasant to my nose, youthful, more suitable for spring and summer. It’s a bit too sweet and one-dimensional in my opinion. It projects much more on clothes than on skin and the price is reasonable.
I arrived expecting more, but it’s a nice, summery, clean scent with a sweet liquor-like touch. Very youthful and cheerful; I mix it with other fragrances to give it more depth.
Seductive Red is a body mist that works as a perfume: an exquisite aroma and a bargain price. It opens with very sweet candied cherry, almond, and vanilla for a gourmand note. Then the flowers emerge to balance everything and prevent headaches. Finally, there’s a soft cupcake-style pastry vanilla with sandalwood for creaminess and wood. Lasts 5+ hours if I apply moisturiser first, and up to 10 hours on clothes, which is excellent for an EDT. Ideal for any season (if you like sweet scents) and age, perfect as a gift or a blind buy.
It’s floral, vanilla-based, and has a balanced sweetness where the cherry blossom stands out; I notice a very subtle amber touch and pleasant vanilla, but the cherry, almond, and sandalwood are hardly noticeable. Undoubtedly youthful, pleasant, and with short longevity (around 4 hours), without being cloying. I see it as unisex-feminine. It’s available at a good price, though I wouldn’t buy it again. I agree with others: it’s almost a body mist, nothing like Cloud or Dark Cherry & Amber from Banana Republic; the latter has better performance and I simply love its scent.
It doesn’t smell like cotton candy nor is it very sweet; the cherry is very noticeable at first and then fades. I find it very sexy, ideal for evening but also suitable for day. It has good sillage and longevity, lasting days on clothes. It reminds me of Ariana’s Cloud but without the lavender. I love it, but I would have liked the cherry to last longer.
What a beautiful perfume! It smells of super juicy and sweet cherry, reminding me of those Tutsi Pop or Rosa lollipops so popular in Mexico. The cherry is the star and a treat for the nose. I highly recommend it for girls who love sweet and coquettish scents. The sillage and longevity are decent, lasting around 4 or 5 hours.
What a cool perfume! It smells of super juicy, sweet cherries, bringing back memories of Tutsi Pop popsicles or the Rosa so beloved here in Mexico. The cherry is the absolute star, a treat for the nose. I recommend it to girls looking for something sweet and coquettish. The trail and longevity are decent, lasting about 4 or 5 hours.
I love the cherry, but I don’t like BR540 or similar things (including Cloud or Burberry Her). Fortunately, I detect no resemblance here. It smells like a cherry lollipop with a spicy kick from the pepper; as a child, I loved cherry candies with chili and Guess Red reminded me of that scent. It’s a bit like Sweet Lolita Lempicka. In dry climates it lasts a long time: I bought it in Poland in winter and it lasted all day, even after showering. In Spain not so much, but it lasts 5-6 hours. If you’re looking for a dupe for BR540 or Cloud, I don’t recommend buying it blindly, but it’s a hit for cherry lovers.
