Which Should You Buy?
Cherry Baby is a divisive, short-lived flirtation that tries to be a sophisticated, boozy cherry but often falls flat. Some love its chocolatey Black Forest charm, others get cheap synthetic fruit, cough syrup, or even 'wet cardboard and dried baby wipes'.
Afenan's Modest Deux is a gourmand crowd-pleaser that delivers a potent burst of sweet, dark fruit and chocolate. It's affordable, intoxicating, and often described as a 'beast mode' performer. Just remember, Middle Eastern scents often need to macerate to truly shine - give this one time to develop its full, seductive power.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its short longevity and intimate sillage make it unsuitable for formal or office wear, but perfect for close encounters. The sweet, juicy, and occasionally boozy profile leans towards casual wear, particularly for dates or cosy autumn/winter outings.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting, heavy gourmand character make it less suitable for office or sports. This scent truly shines for date nights and formal evenings where its seductive, rich aroma can make a statement without being overwhelming.
