Cherry Punk Extrait de Parfum

Love this fragrance

I really love this perfume. It’s the most sophisticated cherry perfume I’ve smelled. The leather adds such a beautiful element to the overall fragrance and stays for the duration. It keeps it from feeling too sweet and removes it from gourmand territory. I will eventually buy a full bottle of this.

I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS A CLEAN, SKING BUT BETTER SCENT. But I imagined it to be so much dirtier considering its inspiration from punk culture. The leather in this feels like a new leather purse that absorbed a little of the smoke from fancy tobacco candles during its first week of use.
I don't get a used-motorcycle-jacket-with-cigarrette's-burns type of leather. This is not it if you are hoping for dirty, raw, and dark vibes. Not so rebellious in my opinion.
That being said, I enjoy it. It is sophisticated and well-blended while you can also smell both the cherry and the leather. It is fruity but not childish or overwhelming. It totally gives the high-fashion side of Vivienne Westwood, and coherently, I suppose, it has more of an appropriation of punk as cool aesthetics than as politics.

This perfume smells like someone dumped a boozy cherry drink on leather cat seats and the scent lasts forever.

The opening was chemical cherry with gasoline which I found interesting. During the dry down the gasoline faded off. Clean sterile medical office joined in with the cherry and there was ChapStick in the background. I really vibed with it. Post dry down it became woody, skewing nutty and I lost interest in it. It's a tough call. I really did enjoy the opening and immediate dry down, but the post dry down was something of a let down. Maybe it's not for me.

Bought a 2ml sample and loved it, I’ll be buying a full size bottle soon.

This is a really, really nice scent. I recommend this one. Better than Cherry Smoke by Tom Ford...to me.
