Another one from the "samples to test" box

Cherry Fiesta by Who is ElijahWho is ElijahCherry Fiesta3.52 ratings

Grabbed to wear on this hot afternoon and fairly pleasantly surprised. Was expecting a deep, red, jammy cherry but this is quite sweet and lighter than I was expecting. Very fruity and the mandarin and pear work well to keep it wearable in warm weather. Some similarities to TF TC but not so 'Dr Pepper'. Half an hour after spraying it is getting a little sweet/powdery but still nice enough so far...

Sidenote: I'd never heard of this brand before a month ago just via bundles of samples I've bought, but looking them up, they seem to get such hate online! I've quite liked this and the other one I've tried tbh (Poetic Dance) - they aren't crazy expensive and the aesthetic/bottles look nice to me. What's the deal with all the online vitriol?

    I love a good cherry. I'll have to look into this one 🧐

    What is the hate they are getting? I have a travel of their Electric Soul, it’s nice.

      Maybe just a Reddit thang? The themes seem to be: overwhelming amount of social media advertising, influencer brand, overhyped (where??!), derivative/dupe brand with no longevity... (Seems to be a recent trend that perfumes will get SLATED if they don't last 24 hours and take out a square kilometre in projection so I take that with a pinch of salt.)

      Hahaha.. this made me giggle! I went and had a nosey and I seen a few Reddit posts.. it almost seems a bit orchestrated?

      Would not surprise me! There are certain factions that just get absolutely smashed for no discernible reason (in my eyes). Perhaps big brands trying to buy out smaller ones and trying to get their price down via reputation?
