Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a bright bergamot cut that lasts maybe ten minutes before coconut water and tiare flower take over, pulling the whole thing toward a creamy, sun-warmed floral that stops just short of sunscreen. Ylang-ylang is present but restrained — floral without going heavy or soapy. The dry-down is soft cedarwood wrapped in white musk, clean and skin-close. Projection is modest; sillage is a quiet trail rather than a statement. — Best on warm skin in actual heat, for anyone who wants a beach-adjacent skin scent without the novelty-shop coconut overload.
Black cherry opens loud and almost boozy, the liquor note pushing the fruit into ripe, slightly fermented territory rather than candy sweetness. Bitter almond sharpens the heart, keeping it from going purely confectionary, while rose adds a fleeting floral softness that fades quickly. The dry-down is where it earns its price — tonka bean and sandalwood pull everything warm and skin-close, leaving a dense, resinous sweetness with real staying power and low-slung sillage that lingers for hours — Best in cold weather, date nights, anyone who wants gourmand without smelling like dessert.
