Which Should You Buy?
This perfume is a divisive one - a love-it-or-hate-it cherry bomb. Some find it a delightful, playful, sweet cherry, whilst others recoil at its artificial, cough syrup-like opening. Expect a youthful, girly sweetness that fades quickly.
This jammy rose and raspberry concoction by Francis Kurkdjian is highly divisive. While many adore its sweet, creamy, and feminine charm, others find it too cloying, powdery, or even 'old-fashioned', lacking the longevity some expect from an EDT. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair.
