Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cherry in the Air EDP
A sugary, fizzy cherry burst that captured hearts then dashed hopes. Everyone's kicking themselves for not stocking up this discontinued gem. It's not complex, but what it does it does well, though some found it frustratingly fleeting or too artificial.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Fruity Sky EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Escada - Cherry In The Air - a fruity fragrance led by Raspberry, Mandarin, with citrus depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cherry in the Air

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate sillage and often-cited poor longevity make it unsuitable for formal events. The fresh, fun, and light character aligns perfectly with casual outings and even sport, but it's a bit too sweet and playful for a professional office setting.

Fruity Sky

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The fruity character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its fruity, citrus signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
