Wild Cherry
by Mancera
Wild Cherry by Mancera is a bold, sweet, and impossibly long-lasting gourmand-scent that opens with a punchy, tart cherry note accented by citrus and a synthetic, medicinal hit reminiscent of cough drops or sour cherry lozenges. This intensity fades over time, giving way to a smoother, sweeter dry down where vanillic musk, powdered orris, and heliotrope become more prominent, creating a soft, velvety, candy-like aura. While many find the opening abrasive, it typically mellows into a deeply aromatic, lush cherry-vanilla gourmand with some depth. The fragrance projects strongly and lingers for well over 10 hours on skin and clothing, making it excellent for seasonal wear in cooler months. Though marketed as unisex, it leans noticeably feminine due to its powdery, floral, and sweet profile. It’s ideal for those who enjoy linear, bold perfumes with a dedicated cherry theme—especially fans of Guerlain L'Homme Ideal or TF Lost Cherry—and those seeking a high-performance, attention-grabbing scent with exceptional longevity and sillage.
