Maie Piou Cherry Harley is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Clementine Humeau and Jean-Charles Sommerard. Cherry Harley opens with Finger Lime, Pepper, Black Cherry, and Mugwort, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Saffron. Maie Piou's Cherry Harley carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Cherry Harley is a beast mode cherry scent that divides opinion. Some rave about its luxurious blend of black cherry and leather, while others find the leather notes too harsh and chemical, bordering on car freshener territory. It's an adventurous scent, not for the faint of heart, but those who love it, really love it.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its powerful, room-filling performance and rich, sweet-leather profile make it too intense for office wear. However, its bold and sensual character is perfect for dates and evening events, and it can carry some formal occasions with its luxurious feel.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Cherry Harley opens with a blast of dark, syrupy black cherry, immediately followed by the bold, slightly smoky embrace of leather. As it settles, a rich amber warmth emerges, deepened by hints of saffron, which adds a subtle spice. A delicate rose note weaves through, softening the edges of the otherwise potent leather and cherry, creating a complex and alluring aroma that lasts for ages.
