Getting Hooked on the Intoxicating Scent of Cherries

Cherries have always been one of my favorite fruits. As a child, I looked forward to summer when fresh cherries would make their appearance at the farmer’s market. I loved popping those juicy morsels of ruby red sweetness into my mouth and savoring their tart yet sweet flavor.
As I grew older, my appreciation for the taste of cherries extended to loving their scent as well. There’s just something about the aromatic qualities of cherries that I find absolutely intoxicating. The second I get a whiff of that fruity-floral bouquets with hints of almond, I feel happy and uplifted.
So when the cherry trend hit the fragrance industry a few years ago, I knew I had to get my hands on a perfume that captured the essence of this delightful fruit. I was on a mission to find my signature cherry perfume – one that would remind me of carefree summer days and that would put a smile on my face whenever I wore it.
My Search for the Perfect Cherry Perfume
Finding a perfume with genuine cherry notes that don’t just smell artificial or too candy-like can be quite difficult. Many cherry scents on the mainstream market tend to be very sweet and gourmand. While I love foodie fragrances, I wanted something more sophisticated and botanical – a perfume that highlighted the natural beauty of cherries.
I diligently scoured online perfume directories and cherry-themed fragrance lists to compile a list of potential cherry perfume candidates. I tested countless samples, including scents from popular brands like Jo Malone, Tom Ford, and Guerlain. Unfortunately, most fell flat and just didn’t capture the essence of cherry that I was looking for. They either barely had any cherry notes at all or the cherry was muddled by heavy vanilla, spices, or other fruits. I almost lost hope of ever finding my perfect cherry perfume.
Discovering the Hidden Gem – Finery Cherry Perfume

Finally, in a perfume Facebook group I belong to, I came across a suggestion for Finery Cherry Perfume. The description of notes and reviews indicated it might be exactly what I was looking for. Apparently this brand isn’t hugely well known in the mainstream fragrance world but it has a cult following, especially for their cherry scent. I managed to get a sample vial and couldn’t wait to test it out.
The moment I sprayed it on, I knew this was the one! The opening notes were an effervescent and juicy cherry – it was so crisp, airy, and realistic like taking a huge whiff of fresh cherry blossoms. As it settled on my skin, sensual jasmine floral notes started wrapping around the tart cherry creating depth and femininity. The dry down was warmer with rich vanilla, tonka bean, and soft musk while still retaining that mouthwatering cherry juiciness. This was cherry done right!
Why I’m Infatuated with Finery Cherry Perfume
There are so many reasons why Finery Cherry Perfume has stolen my heart. First of all, the scent profile is absolutely divine. According to the official notes, it has a sparkling opening of tart montmorency cherry, peach, bergamot, and red currant. The floral heart combines romantic jasmine sambac and moroccan rose with fruity black cherry. Finally, the base notes are sweet vanilla bean, tonka bean, musk, blond woods, and benzoin resin. This makes for a fruity-floral gourmand that has the perfect balance – not too candied, not too floral.
I’m also enamored by how photorealistic the cherry note is. Whenever I catch a whiff of my wrists, I feel like someone just popped a fresh cherry right under my nose. The scent reminds me of spring in thePacific Northwest when the cherry blossom trees are in full bloom.
Beyond the scent itself, I appreciate the high quality and craftsmanship of the formula. This perfume has excellent sillage, projecting a Radius of about two feet after application. But it’s not overpowering by any means. The longevity is also impressive, lasting 8-10 hours on my skin. I don’t have to keep reapplying throughout the day.
The packaging is absolutely darling too. The round bottle with a cherry adorned cap looks like it belongs on a vanity in a French chateau. And a little goes a long way – despite its concentration, it only takes me a light spritz or two for the silky cherry essence to envelop me.
I also can’t get enough of how versatile and wearable this scent is. It’s ideal for day or night. I love wearing it to the office because the fruity notes give me a quick pick-me-up but it’s never obtrusive. It transitions seamlessly to evenings out too. I would even feel comfortable wearing this at summer weddings or on dates where I want to smell playful yet alluring. It works year round too, though I personally find it most fitting for spring and summer when cherries are in season.
Where To Buy This Fabulous Cherry Juice Inspired Perfume

After falling hard for this perfume, I was on a mission to stock up. I was able to purchase a full size bottle directly from Finery’s website for $120. That may sound expensive but when you consider the artistry, quality ingredients, and satisfaction this perfume delivers, it’s worth every penny in my book.
I was also pleased to discover it’s available at several online perfume retailers like Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Bloomingdale’s for the same price. This makes it convenient to take advantage of any sales or promos when replenishing my supply.
For anyone looking to test it out first, Finery Perfume offers a Cherry Perfume Sample Set with minis of all their signature scents for $25. Sephora and LuckyScent also carry sample vials which is a smart way to try before committing to a big bottle.
Based on reviews, Finery Cherry Perfume seems tricky to find in physical stores. So buying online is likely the easiest route whether sampling or going for the full bottle. Just be sure to only purchase from authorized retailers so you get the real deal.
Convincing the Cherry Skeptics
I know cherry scents tend to have a divisive reputation. Many perfume wearers find them too sugary, artificial, or reminiscent of products aimed at tweens. But I would argue Finery has achieved something very special and sophisticated here.
This perfume has converted some hardcore cherry skeptics into lovers. One reviewer who normally hates cherry and gravitates towards woods or amber scents admitted Finery’s version is irresistible. The cherry note is natural smelling and well blended into the complex yet very wearable fragrance.
Men seem to find this particularly alluring too. Fragrantica reviewers revealed their husbands can’t stop complimenting it when worn. There’s something universally appealing about the fruity-gourmand vibes that draws people in.
For other cherry fans who haven’t discovered Finery yet, I couldn’t recommend sampling this perfume enough. It’s truly the juiciest, most mouthwatering cherry scent I’ve encountered. The smooth vanilla dry down prevents it from being too literal but it retains that fruity juicy pop that keeps me addicted.
A Cherry Scent Connection I Can Count On

In my ongoing fragrance wardrobe, there are a few staples I just can’t live without. And now Finery Cherry Perfume has quickly joined their ranks. I anticipate this will be my signature scent for many years to come. The gorgeous ruby red juice-inspired elixir provides an instant boost whenever I need some joy or to set the mood.
When I close my eyes and inhale its sweet aroma, I can practically transport myself to massive groves of cherry trees ripe with fruit waiting to be picked. It stirs up delightful memories of cherries at their peak of ripeness on a perfect sunny day. I’ll never get tired of that glistening cherry note that Finery has captured so flawlessly.
To find a perfume that feels like an olfactory soulmate is no easy task, especially when you have such a specific vision. I’m relieved my cherry perfume quest has finally come to an end. The search is over – Finery is the one! I found my perfect match that fulfills all my cherry fruity floral fragrance dreams.
