Which Should You Buy?
If you're after a cherry done differently, Rude Cherry delivers. This isn't that bright, juicy burst; it's a sophisticated, slightly animalic cherry weaving through deep oud and warm spice. Definitely a 'love it or hate it' contender, but those who love it are absolutely obsessed.
Brazen Cherry chases Fragrance Du Bois Rude Cherry's cherry-oud signature, opening sweet and boozy before turning smoky and slightly animalic through the base. It's less refined than the £320 original's layered oud, but the overall sweet-to-smoky journey is a legitimate likeness at a tenth of the price.
