More saffron than cherry

Carmina by CreedCreedCarmina3.676 ratings

I’m on a cherry kick, so I am trying a bunch of different cherry scents. This one is not a favourite. It’s much heavier on the saffron and rose than cherry, and I’m not in love with how the two combine. It’s a little sharp. I think this will probably be a catch and release.

    I melt in a pool of awe when my wife wears this! LOL

      Probably my favourite thing about perfume is how differently everyone perceives it. I think it’s awesome.

      Agreed! It’s a beautiful thing.

    Have you found any cherrys that you like so far?

      My favourite so far is 7 Virtues Cherry Ambition! Which is also cherry and saffron, interestingly. I’ve got a bunch of new ones to test so I’m excited to see how they stack up.

      Nice! Cherry Ambition is on my wish list. Especially with the looming benzaldehyde ban that’s going to cause reformulations for all Cherry and almond notes.

      I know, I’ve been thinking of getting a back up of Cherry Ambition but I can’t decide if that’s too much, lol. Apparently Phlur Cherry Stem doesn’t use benzaldehyde and I like that one too, albeit not as much.
