Cherry Bouquet
Cherry Bouquet by Afnan is an unisex eau de parfum in the budget price tier. It opens with black cherry, cherry and almond, moves into plum, damask rose, sambac jasmine and raspberry and dries down to clove, cedarwood, patchouli, vetiver and vanilla. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Black Cherry Darker, boozier cherry. Reads more grown-up.
- Cherry Sweet, syrupy and a bit almondy. Currently everywhere.
- Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
Heart
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
- Damask Rose The rich, jammy, honeyed rose. Deep and slightly wine-like.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
Dry-down
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
