Guerlain Cherry Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Delphine Jelk. Cherry Oud opens with Cherry, and settles into a heart of Fruity Notes and Rose. Guerlain's Cherry Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Don't go expecting a straightforward cherry bonbon; this is a moody, bold beast where the leather and oud often steal the show. Not for the faint of heart, but addictive for those who click with its dark charm.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its nuclear performance and strong sillage, Cherry Oud is far too overpowering for an office environment. Its complex, dark profile with oud and leather makes it perfect for formal events or intimate dates, especially in cooler weather, where its depth can be appreciated.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Guerlain's Cherry Oud opens with a fleeting, medicinal burst of dark cherry and mixed fruits, quickly giving way to a prominent, intense oud that some find smooth and others, challenging. As it dries, a rich, animalic leather accord takes centre stage, mingling with a subtle, powdery rose and a hint of smoky depth. The cherry often recedes, leaving a complex, grown-up blend that evokes luxury and mystery.
