Cherrywood (akkoord)

The first spritz hits with a burst of tart cherry that settles into a warm, smoky woodiness—it’s like walking through a sunlit orchard at dusk. I’ve had it on for six hours and the dry-down still lingers close to the skin, which is exactly the kind of understated presence I wanted.

I’ve been layering this cherrywood accord over a plain sandalwood oil and it melts into something deeper than either alone. The cherry note never goes syrupy, more like dried fruit nestled in the wood, and it lasts a solid six hours on my skin.

The balance here is spot on—the woodiness keeps the cherry from turning syrupy, and it wears close to the skin for hours. I’ve gotten compliments every time I’ve tried it, and it’s quickly become my go-to for cool evenings.
