Cherry Fragrances

A cherry accord can smell juicy, syrupy, tart, liqueur-like, almondy, or dark and jammy, depending on whether it suggests fresh fruit, maraschino cherry, cherry candy, or black cherry. In fragrance, it often carries a recognizable sweet-tart brightness with a subtle bitter facet that links naturally to almond, tonka, and heliotrope. Cherry works well in gourmand, fruity floral, amber, tobacco, leather, and boozy compositions. Paired with vanilla, chocolate, rose, cinnamon, rum, or patchouli, it becomes plush and indulgent; with citrus or musk, it feels lighter and more playful. The accord can be flirtatious, nostalgic, decadent, or dramatic.
