Afnan Cherry Bouquet Review: A Lost Cherry Dupe?

The first spray is a boozy, syrupy cherry-almond explosion. It is loud, sweet, and unapologetically gourmand. The sour cherry and cherry liqueur dominate, with almond softening the edges. This is the most intense phase and may feel overwhelming if over-applied.

The fragrance transitions into a jammy rose and raspberry heart. The cherry remains present but takes a back seat to the floral-fruity blend. The plum adds a juicy richness, while jasmine sambac contributes a soft, slightly creamy floral note. The scent becomes more rounded and less sharp than the opening.

In the base, vanilla and cloves emerge, wrapped in woody vetiver, cedar, and patchouli. The cherry note fades into a sweet, spicy, woody trail. The drydown is cozy and slightly earthy, with the vanilla and cloves providing warmth. It sits close to the skin after the first few hours, making it suitable for intimate settings.
