Perfume Parlour Cherry Defense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Cherry Defense opens with Violet Leaf, Cherry, and Chamomile, settles into a heart of Rose, Geranium, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, and Cashmeran. Perfume Parlour's Cherry Defense carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A close reading of Mind Games French Defense - sugary black cherry over rose-geranium florals on amber and blonde woods. Perfume Parlour matches the note structure exactly but pushes the candied cherry sweeter while the original's velvety woody depth softens slightly.

About

Cherry Defense opens on a luscious, sugary cherry - the maraschino, candy-sweet kind rather than tart - exactly the hook that made Mind Games French Defense so loved. Violet leaves and a touch of chamomile keep the opening from turning cloying, while a heart of rose, geranium and mimosa adds floral elegance and stops the sweetness running away. The base settles into warm amber, blonde woods and cedarwood for a smooth, refined finish. Perfume Parlour mirrors the original's note list closely; the divergence is in feel, with the candied cherry pushed a shade louder and the velvety woody-amber depth rendered a little softer. One owner notes the extrait improves after a couple of weeks of maturing. Projection is good early before settling, with respectable longevity. A sensual fruity-floral for cool-weather date nights and evenings.
